| Summary: | "For anyone seeking insight into how and why a long-outlawed group rose to power in Egypt, this program serves as an enlightening historical snapshot. Viewers explore the tenuous period in which President Mubarak promised a 'free and honest and transparent' elections in a vain attempt to forestall a full-scale uprising; in which the main opposition party, the Muslim Brotherhood, remained illegal while preparing to begain its protracted journey to power; in which the same organization discarded its long-held slogan 'Islam is the solution' in favor of 'Democracy is the solution'- a broader sentiment that did not necessarily reflect the Muslim's Brotherhood's true intentions. Interviews feature prominent Egyptian activists and political figures, including Dr. Ali Abdel Fattah, a senior Muslim Brotherhood official, and Dr. Saad Eddin Ibrahim, on of Egypt's leading democracy campaigners." -- Back of container.
