I left Egypt in July 2010 moving the the US before the events started. Since that time I never been back because of my military status. I worked so hard here with my community to support the revolution at the time.
As an Egyptian I really felt represented in this film and I felt the pain, the joy, and the tear of my people in its shots. I myself has the same stand as Magdy in the film. My father was a Muslim Brotherhood till he died in 2008. I left the Muslim Brotherhood because of the decisions they took the same way it pushed Magdy to leave it in the film.
I couldn't stop myself from crying seeing Mina Danial's mom saying in his funeral:"He asked me I'm I going to be sad if he become a martyr one day? I told him, no honey, but I'll just miss you."
I found the Egyptian people in the film and its shots. I found their smiles, their tears of joy and pain. I really forgot the taste of fighting for Egypt and losing a battle and wining the other. The feeling that no matter what we keep going till the end. This is film brought me back this spirit.
I said to one of my friends similar lines to the ones Ahmed said at the end:"Egyptians are the ones who loses their life. Whoever they are Muslims, Christians, or atheists. Egyptians are the one who loses."
The ending was really outstanding. It's really hard to end such long time line of events with these great words. It's true that we don't need a leader, or a group, all what Egypt needs is a conscious."
This film is going to be a huge impact in Egypt and on the Egyptian people once it's showed in Egypt.
