Synopsis

Before and after the popular uprising that led to the fall of Hosni Mubarak, a new generation of Egyptian filmmakers started using their « weapon of choice » – their cameras – as a tool for revealing the truth. More than ever a crucial weapon of resistance, filming breaks the law of silence and makes sense out of the confusion that now rules Egypt.

Weapon of Choice shows how filmmakers, through fiction, documentary or citizen journalism, take action in the long and difficult process of transformation that is Revolution.

With Ibrahim El Batout, Ayten Amin, Wael Omar, Khalid Abdalla, Amr Salama, Mohamed Diab and Karim El Shenawy.
