  • BAM Film 2026
Directed by Jehane Moujaim (2013)
Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 86th Academy Awards, Jehane Moujaim’s film traces the ongoing Egyptian Revolution of 2011, immersing its viewer in the intense emotional drama of young people on the streets of Cairo. The work to claim their rights and create a society of conscience against the toppling of the government serves as an inspiring tribute to the power of citizenry.
