- Egypts January 25, 2011 uprising has often been dubbed a leaderless and spontaneous revolution. Yet many youths have cited Mohamed ElBaradei as the person who galvanized them on the path to democracy with his National Association for Change in 2010. Through street mobilization and effective use of social media, ElBaradei encouraged youth to shed the culture of fear and challenge the inevitability of the Mubarak regime. The uprising was recognized globally as an historical role model for change, but the euphoria was short lived. Different factors, from the lack of democratic structures, disorganization of the youth movement, and the counter-revolution managed by the military and the Islamists, have all undermined the goals of the uprising, which were democracy, freedom, and social justice. In fact, the country is showing signs of regressing into a military-style dictatorship. The failure of the Egyptian revolution can contribute to an escalation of insecurity and instability in this part of the world. This 30-minute film documents an historic conversation in which Mohamed ElBaradei and Rajmohan Gandhi, historian, grandson and biographer of Mahatma Gandhi, compare notes on Egypt post-2011 and India during the time of Gandhi. Using dramatic images, historic footage, and comical animations this documentary probes pressing questions about how societies can transition from revolt to sustained democracy. How can people lead the change in the right direction while societies are fractured and polarized along identity-based lines? How can they overcome the forces of counter-revolution? What factors allow them to recognize that their strength is in their diversity? By taking the two cases of Egypt and India, this documentary raises larger questions about people-driven change. It offers thoughtful and informed reflections about how to move forward in this age of uprisings and social unrest in ways that will lead to a more just and sustainable world order.
