Synopsis
Shortly before before Mubarak's resignation, a young journalist named Heba Afify starts working for the English-language edition of an independent Egyptian daily newspaper called "Al-Masry Al-Youm." Heba is determined to accurately reflect the diversity of people's opinions to the protests on Tahrir Square and provides them with a new-found voice. She also actively participates in the protests and sometimes finds herself in potentially dangerous situations. In addition to her political and journalistic activities, every day she finds herself battling with her own mother who feels Heba's behavior is not appropriate for a young woman in Egyptian society.
