Description
Summary:"The Square offers a truly unique insight into the human stories behind the political and social upheaval of revolution. Filmed on the ground during the Egyptian uprising, The Square explores far beyond the million man marches and bloody battles shown on international news, and is a truly immersive experience, transporting the viewer deeply into the intense emotional drama and personal stories never normally heard. It is the inspirational story of young people claiming their rights and struggling through multiple forces: from a brutal army dictatorship willing to crush protestors with military tanks, to the corrupt Muslim Brotherhood using mosques to manipulate voters. A multiple festival award winner and Oscar nominated documentary, The Square is an unmissable insight into the heart of the Arab Spring."--Container.
