Netflix has announced the premiere date for Jehane Noujaim’s documentary The Square, which chronicles the Tahrir Square protest in Egypt, first against Hosni Mubarak in 2011 until Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
The documentary won the People’s Choice Award at the
Toronto International Film Festivl and will now be available on Netflix on
January 17th at 12:01 am PT.
The Square Official Synopsis:
The film captures the immediacy and intensity of the
protests in Tahrir Square from the 2011 overthrow of military leader Hosni
Mubarak through the ousting of Mohammed Morsi in 2013, providing a
kaleidoscopic, visceral portrait of the events as they unfold before Magdy, a
member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Khalid Abdalla, an Egyptian actor who played
the lead in “The Kite Runner” and the charismatic Ahmed, whose poetic
storytelling carries the narrative. Armed with nothing more than cameras,
social media, deep consciousness, and a resolute commitment to change, these
young revolutionaries give us a front-line perspective of the ongoing struggle
fought with new weapons.
