When masses of Egyptians began protesting in 2011, documentary filmmaker Jehane Noujaim grabbed a small camera, got on a plane and headed to Tahrir Square. Just a couple years later - while the story was still unfolding - she’s released The Square - which is nominated for the best documentary Oscar. We talk to Noujaim and her producer about the ongoing story of Egypt’s revolution.
