Anna Roussillon’s "I Am The People" is the charming, funny and fascinating portrait of a family, far from Tahrir Square in Egypt’s rural South, as they follow the Tahrir uprising via television news and local papers. From the toppling of President Mubarak to the election of Mohamed Morsi, the film charts their progression from amused distant observers of the events in Cairo through their increasing engagement and politicisation.
