Showdown In Cairo And The Rest Of This Week S Screenings

• The Square

Freshly nominated for an Oscar in the Best Documentary category, Jehane Noujaim’s The Square chronicles the Egyptian Revolution from Mubarak to Morsi and beyond, focusing on a small group of protesters who occupied Cairo’s Tahrir Square and watched their crusade for more representative government yield an elected government that didn’t represent them. It opens Friday for a weeklong run at Gene Siskel Film Center, and it shouldn’t be missed.
