The Square

Egyptian director Jehane Noujaim latest documentary captures history and puts the Arab Spring in perspective from the Egyptian point of view. An inside look of the Arab Spring when it reached Egypt, where the Tahrir Square became the centre of the revolution which brought down the Mubarak regime and give people a taste of their power but its after effects proved even more difficult for many when the political scene became more convoluted. Noujaim was at the center of the revolution and captured the events as they were unfolding which gives the documentary immediacy and kinetic energy that should become a time-capsule for an historic chapter in the Egyptian history. 1001 Films' coverage of upcoming releases.
