‘Words of Witness’ by Mai Iskander, Egypt/US, 2012, 1h08 In English and Arabic with English subtitles
Date: November 20, 2012
Venue: Alliance Francaise Auditorium
Time: 6.30 pm
Defying cultural norms and family expectations, 22-year-old Heba Afify takes to the streets to report on an Egypt in turmoil, using tweets, texts and Facebook posts. Heba’s words bear witness to the heady optimism of a country on a path to self-determination, the toppling of a dictator, the difficult transition towards democracy and the celebration of a cultural shift where a younger generation inspired a country to “lead themselves”.
Discussants: Irungu Houghton (Oxfam), Aamera Jiwaji (Nairobi Business Monthly), Philip Thigo (Social Development Network, SODNET)
After I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added-
checkbox and now every time a remark is added I get four
emails with the identical comment.
Is there any means you can take away me
from that service? Thanks!
