‘I Am The People’ (‘Je Suis le Peuple’) is a shrewd, balanced and engaging documentary film that chronicles the post-Arab Spring tensions in Egypt seen from the eyes of a farmer in the Nile Valley Shunning Tahrir Square, French documentary maker Anna Roussillon, who was raised in Cairo, puts down her camera in a small village near Luxor, in the home of Farraj and his family. Over the course of two and a half years, she follows their everyday life, from working the fields in the daytime to evenings spent in front of the TV watching events unfold.
