Does anyone want to go see this with me???????
*Nevermind, it’s playing in Kingston.
***ok, I just submitted a petition to screen it in Toronto. Would anyone be interested?
For those who don’t know, it is a documentary on Bassem Youssef (the “Jon Stewart of Egypt”). This is what it says on IMDb:
The Arab Spring in Egypt: From a dictator to free elections, back to a dictatorship. One comedy show united the country and tested the limits of free press. This is the story of Bassem Youssef, a cardiologist turned comedian, the Jon Stewart of Egypt, and his show "The Show".
Here are a couple of funny clips of his new show:

So I don’t know what I need to be able to get a screening in Toronto, but I’m sure if people here are interested I can get it started. Who’s with me?
