WINTER OF DISCONTENT (15) 2012 EGYPT EL-BATOUT, IBRAHIM £15.99
Egyptian political drama set against the backdrop of the January 2011
revolution. Told in a series of flashbacks, the film highlights the
troubles the Egyptian people were forced to deal with under President
Mubarak’s reign through the eyes of politically motivated whistleblower
Amr (Amr Waked). Once a victim of severe torture and state-endorsed
brutality himself, Amr has since been involved in a campaign to make the
wider world aware of Mubarak’s gross abuse of power.
Through his story we are told how the Egyptian revolution was not one
of spontaneous action but rather the result of a long period of
injustice committed against its people.
