Bulaq (2011)

On the 25th 2011 January thousands of Egyptians gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square, sparking what we call now the Egyptian Revolution. Only a few hundred meters far from the world-famous square, the people from popular neighborhood Bulaq Abu el-Ela took part in the revolt, finding in demonstrations something more than a glimmer of hope. Through their voices, 'Bulaq' portrays their collective struggle against eviction and social marginalization, whose destiny seems to be strictly intertwined with the hesitant fortunes of the Egyptian spring.
