The Square(2013)
dir. Jehane Noujaim
Eighteen days in Tahrir Square, then the years after.
Where to watch: Free on Tubi, KanopyLetterboxd ↗
Egyptian activists document Tahrir Square's uprising from Mubarak's 2011 fall through Morsi's 2013 ouster, as the revolution's meaning keeps shifting under their feet.
Why it’s here
Filmed over three years by activists who were still in the square as the story kept changing underneath them — a revolution that doesn't end cleanly with one dictator's fall, told by people who couldn't afford to stop paying attention.
