In a program titled
“Tahrir Cinema,” Tahrir Lounge presented a series of movies that address
political and human right issues. This created a forum that focused on the
importance of diversity in the various ways used to spread human rights, civic,
and political awareness among all segments of society. There was a large
turnout for the series; about 80 spectators from Mounifia and other Nile Delta
governorates attended every movie presented in the program. There was post film
discussions about the dimensions of the film as well as the participant’s views
on the issues presented in the movie. Two of the movies viewed were “The
Stoning of Thoraya (2008)” and “My Name is Khan (2010)”.
