Far from imposing clarity on the historic gatherings, Tahrir embraces the thrill and uncertainty of popular action. In some ways resembling old-fashioned vérité, Stefano Savona's chronicle aims to plunge you into the crowds and clamor.

This documentary follows the lives of three young Egyptians in the two weeks following January 25, 2011 as protests against the government begin to gain steam. The story of the 2011 Egyptian revolution is told in real time through the lenses of social media, community organizing, police brutality and more as the protagonists experience them.

What are critics saying?
A direct-cinema document of the Cairo protests that toppled Mubarak, Stefano Savona's film doesn't pretend that Egypt's resolution has yet won a lasting victory.
The result may occasionally be more of a journalistic scrapbook than a Wisemanian all-points portrait, but the impact of seeing such unvarnished public activism in the raw can't be overestimated.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Instantly proves itself an invaluable historical document. Shot verite-style with no narration, soundtrack or other embellishments, Tahrir: Liberation Square simply depicts the events of late January and early February 2011 with a vital immediacy.
