The Cultural services of the French Embassy presents the 2014 documentary I Am the People (Je suis le Peuple) by Anna Roussillon on September 19, 2016.

This documentary shows an alternate view of the Egyptian revolution through the experiences and voices of this community in the periphery.
Intimately shot over the three year period from the toppling of President Mubarak to the election and fall of Mohamed Morsi, I Am the People is the portrait of a family, far from Tahrir Square in Egypt’s rural South, as they follow the Tahrir uprising.
