    Great Documentary!

    Words of witness tells the story of the revolution from the point of view of the people. Heba The young Journalist goes into the heart of Tahrir square to ask, why even after the fall of the old regime, people are still protesting? What are they looking for? The Film Shows the confusion,happiness and sorrow that the people of Egypt faced before, during and after the revolution. Amazing cinematography! Whatever your feelings are about the revolution, after seeing this film you'll understand why the people revolted! and why they are still protesting whether you agree with them or not! Heba as a young Arab journalist is a very interesting character.
