Film Screening (111 min.) and Discussion with Director

Directed by Anna Roussillon, a French filmmaker raised in Cairo, *I Am the People* (2014) portrays a rural Egyptian community’s response to the revolution in Tahrir Square and its political aftermath, from the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak to the fall of Mohamed Morsi. The film shows how a rural community follows national politics—through TV, radio, and newspapers—presenting an alternate experience of the revolution. Winner of the 2015 John Marshall Award for Contemporary Ethnographic Media at the Camden International Film Festival.
