ABOUT THE FILM In the midst of the Egyptian Arab Spring, Bassem
Youssef creates the satirical show, "Al Bernameg," which quickly
becomes the most viewed television program in the Middle East, with 30
million viewers per episode. But, in a country where free speech is
not settled law, his show becomes as controversial as it is popular.
Despite increasing danger, Bassem employs comedy, not violence, to
comment on hypocrisy in media, politics, and religion. Tickling Giants
follows the "Al Bernameg" team as they discover democracy is not
easily won.
