Revolution Hijacked
(2011, Documentary, 28 min)
This documentary was prepared by ABC Australia,
and distributed by Journeyman Pictures.
It shows protests in streets of Cairo as well as short
interviews with some of the key activists in Egypt
discussing the irony of transitioning to democracy
under military rule in Egypt. The movie gives us an
insight into the troubled transition that started with
Egypt’s great revolution in January 2011, which
succeeded in ousting Mubarak.
“You know the army council is
trying to kill the revolution,” says
Bothaina Kamel, presidential candidate, quoted in the
movie.
