Tickling Giants

What hurts the most is that I personally lived every moment of this documentary. It was nothing less than a revolution regardless of what school books will share now. The people have awoken and next time around it will not be so easy to keep them quiet.

" The words is mightier than the swords " .. 6 years ago , i hated u too much to even get to know who you are , i think it was all 'cause of my political ideology back then ..

but now after watching all of your show episodes , i realized how important you were for the revolution objectives to be fulfilled ..

the only losers after shutting down your show were the Egyptians themselves ..

wish u all the best , Bassem , and hope u get back soon ..

Tickling Giant is a captivating, intense and authentic experience of what it means to rebel, about the consequences, what the stakes really are, and how the fresh wind of change is received by both the crooks and the oppressed. It is not the story of Bassem Youssef, for Bassem is only a satirist not a leader; it is a story of a voice retrieved, fought for with blood, clenched onto, and then ultimately lost. It shows, with vividness and authenticity, both the promise of the Arab spring and its eventual failure, touching on the reasons for that and showing the timeline of all of it happening in slow and inexorable progression.

It is a must-see for those who are interested in the story of the Arab Spring , for those who want to understand what it means to live in a third-world country where authoritarianism and ignorance prevail, and even for those who just want to know how fascism works and how to spot its warning signs. It's all of this and more, told in the context of Bassem Youssef's world.

As an Egyptian, I watched myself laugh, smile and cry throughout the film as I lived all of it again.

I liked That Movie , It Make Me remember That Beautiful Days Watching You , You Make Me Hope To Be As You ! Bassem You Are The Best If You Can Return Return Man All Of Us Recognized That We Was Wrong We wasn't Rolled By A President We Were Roling By Bala7a ! Bassem I Say It Again Man , Reeeeturn <<<<3333

Really enjoyed every minute of it especially those clips of bassem's daughter Nadia .. i think that this movie is really a big step towards achieving real democracy in Egypt
