Oh my, this is really cool.

This is the website (nearly entirely in Arabic…) for the Mosireen Collective, a collective of Egyptian revolutionary filmmakers who have archived in video the uprising in Egypt, now with more than 1000 hours of footage to be made available for use in filmmaking and activism.

What a treasure trove and an incredible tool for Egyptian activists and citizen journalists!

I’m lucky that, for the foreseeable future, I don’t even have to find out.
