The first feature film to address the Egyptian Revolution of January 2011. The film reveals the struggle of daily life in Egypt, through the eyes of Gouda Al Masri. Gouda loves his country, but fuelled by unemployment, humiliation from the authorities and police corruption, he decides to fight back. He is detained and tortured by police, advised to stay out of trouble and lives his life like an ant. But Gouda, like so many of his fellow Egyptians, never gives up hope that change is possible.
The Director Sameh Abdel Aziz will be present at screening, with thanks to Etihad Airways.
