A year after the euphoria of Tahrir Square and Mubarak’s fall, Egypt’s revolution remains incomplete: many continue to suffer from State inflicted cruelty. More than 12 000 protesters have been arrested by the army and secret police, sentenced by summary military tribunals, and often tortured. The film follows several different people who have suffered injustice at the hands of the current post-revolutionary military regime. It shows how the systematic use of violence and fear by Mubarak’s regime continues after he has been ousted from power.
Born in Prague in 1968, and grew up in Canada. A former academic with a Ph.D. in political philosophy from Harvard, he gave up his university career in 2003 to become a fulltime documentary filmmaker specializing in human rights subjects. His first film was Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan (2004). This was followed by On a Tightrope, a film about the persecution of the Uighur minority in China. His Letters to the President was an exclusive access film about the regime of President Ahmadinejad of Iran.
