Coming to Netflix tomorrow, Friday, January 17: THE SQUARE (AL MIDAN)
Jehane Noujaim’s riveting look at Egypt’s 2011 Revolution and what followed made its debut at Sundance last year, picking up an audience award. A retooled version of the film made its bow at Toronto, and repeated the audience award win, and went on to screen at the New York Film Festival, DOC NYC, and Dubai, among others. After its theatrical run this past Fall, the film was nominated for the Best Documentary Oscar, and now comes to Netflix as one of first original doc acquisitions.
I wrote about the film out of Toronto here.
