Tweets from Tahrir (2012)

Young, urbane and highly-motivated, Cairo's 'twitterati' revealed the truth of the scale of the uprising which Egypt's state media sought to hide, and gave a street-level, minute-by-minute account both of how the persistence and bravery of the Egyptian people brought down a dictator but also how the naiveté and complacency which followed failed to bring about a revolution. The book 'Tweets From Tahrir' by OR Books was the inspiration for this film.
