Synopsis

The film reflects upon the impact of images in the Egyptian Revolution in 2011 and relates it to the image politics of Egypt's leaders. Instead of showing footage from the revolution, it focuses on the power of images through the lens of Egypt's oldest and most influential state newspaper, Al Ahram. It tells the story of a photojournalist who missed the revolution due to a hospital stay, providing a personal reflection on the media's role during the events.
