The Square The Egyptian Revolution

the methods of rebellion, the government’s response to the rebellion, and the outcome of both revolutions were alike. One method of rebellion that was prominent in both revolutions was peaceful protest. In the Egyptian Revolution, that lasted 18 days, people peacefully set up tents in Tahrir square to protest Mubarak presidency.

To begin, the documentary “The Square” provided in depth insight on the protestors’ lives and their journeys through Egypt presidents’ problematic rise of power. During the beginning of the documentary, Ahmed Hassan, Magdy Ashour, Khalid Abdalla and Ramy Essam as well as various protestors are followed throughout the demonstrations to show viewers the atrocities that Egypt underwent in 2011 and the years following.

ago, Egypt broke into civil unrest when protesters flooded Tahrir Square, demanding the end of Hosnia Mubarak’s regime. Although Mubarak stepped down within two weeks, Egypt is worse off today than it was last January. The Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF), which played a vital role in the January revolution, has now become a violent and oppressive force.
