Friday of Departure

(2011.)

Directed by: Mona Iraqi
PHOTOGRAPHY: Mona Iraqi
Synopsis:

This documentary about the Egyptian revolution primarily deals with the media portrayal of the events. With its effective contrasting of recordings of real events from the protests with the television recordings and commentaries from TV hosts, the director shows how the mainstream media ignored what was happening in reality. During the first Friday of protests, many Egyptians were disappointed with the media coverage but on the second Friday the direction of the revolution changed drastically.
