Egypt - Salma in the Square (2011x2)

:

At 33, Salma et Tarzi has never known any other leader. Hosni Mubarak has ruled Egypt with such ruthless authority many call him The Last Pharaoh and very few dared to do anything other than quietly comply with his administration. Criticism, dissent even whispered disagreement would risk attracting the attention of Mubarak's henchmen, summary imprisonment, torture, even death. In this portrait of a revolution and one extraordinary participant, reporter Mark Corcoran follows Salma's personal journey and her stoic, excited, expectant and at times fearful resistance.
