New York Post by Farran Smith Nehme
When Uprising shows masses of Arabs marching for freedom, and using Muslim prayer as a form of peaceful protest, that in itself is a bit revolutionary.
Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein
Ultimately, more than 800 demonstrators died amid countless displays of bravery and commitment. Uprising is a vital and valuable tribute to these courageous men and women - and to love of country.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
Its account of the week beginning January 25 feels like a solid, layman-friendly addition to the West's understanding of this chunk of history.
Amid the flood of documentaries about the Arab Spring in general and the Egyptian Revolution in particular, Uprising takes a clear, cohesive approach to the spontaneous events at its center.
