| Summary: | "On December 17, 2010, 26-year-old Mohamed Bouazizi set fire to himself on the streets of Tunis, sparking a popular uprising that toppled a dictator and developed into the Arab Spring. With remarkable never-before-seen footage, Tunisian filmmaker Elyes Baccar chronicles his country's revolution with searing, passionate images of demonstrations, celebrations and riots leading to and immediately following the expulsion of President Ben Ali. To many on the outside (and even on the inside), Tunisia appeared a bastion of stability in the Arab world. But this image was only a mirage ... Rouge Parole provides an immediate, up-close look at the uprising. It's a powerful documentary record of a nation shaking off decades of oppressive rule and taking its first--chaotic, disorganized but inspiring--steps towards democracy"--Distributor's abstract. |
