Voices of Tahrir — Fathi Saleh from Elliott Woods on Vimeo.
Fathi Saleh, 30, a protester in Tahrir Square, Cairo, calling for the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, who has ruled Egypt for three decades—since Fathi was born.
Tens of thousands of other protesters began gathering in Tahrir Square and in other locatioins throughout Cairo and other cities in Egypt on 25 January 2011 in a “Day of Anger.” The demonstrations have continued for two weeks since with no signs of stopping.
The short videos in Voices of Tahrir give voice to one protester at a time.
