"A coming of age story in the wake of the Arab Spring, Nada's Revolution is an intimate portrait of a young, post-revolution Egyptian woman fighting for her freedom and independence in a society caught between old traditions and modernization. Amidst the political turmoil that has paralyzed Egypt for almost three years, we follow Nada's struggle to establish herself as an independent woman and theater professional as she sets out to make her old dream come true: to work with children's theater. When the revolution broke out in 2011, Nada-like many other young women-was full of energy and hope. But in the aftermath of the revolution and when the election of President Morsi further pushes the country into political turmoil, the situation appears hopeless. Nada is confronted with the question of how to stay true to her own dreams, while conservative ideas about gender roles and women's freedom are hard to change. Nada's fight is not over"--Distributor's description.
