Africa in Motion Documentary Competition: Moug (Waves)
Sun 25 October 2015
Moug
The lively city of Suez in Egypt is the birthplace of the Egyptian revolution. Through the eyes and narration of the young Suez born filmmaker, the film explores Suez’s history, its people and their struggles. The “revolution generation” has lost many friends and family members and nurtures anger against the power in place. Nostalgia about the past and angst about the future are poetically told in this very personal documentary and essay film, which offers an insight into the collective psyche of post-revolution Egypt.
