Garnering an Academy Award® nomination for "Best Documentary" in 2014, Al Midan (aka The Square), directed by Jehane Noujaim, is "…an immersive experience, transporting the viewer deeply into the intense emotional drama and personal stories behind the news. It is the inspirational story of young people claiming their rights, struggling through multiple forces, in the fight to create a society of conscience." (http://thesquarefilm.com/about)
"Having anything to do with Jehane's film is an honor," confessed Gathr's CEO, Scott Glosserman. "It is vitally important that communities come together to share this viewing experience, and to use The Square as a catalyst to discuss the impact and consequence of revolution. Al Midan causes us to turn a mirror onto ourselves here in the U.S., not only in regards to our international policy, but to both the milestones and misgivings of our own protest movements."
"We are overjoyed to be partnering with Gathr on The Square," said filmmakers Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer. "This revolutionary film about change and the power of the people demands us working with this groundbreaking company that has the tools and technology to respond to that power, and give the people what they want."
