In Bed with the Arab Spring

Directed by Paul Moreira
The Arab revolutions swept away the old regimes and were led by young modern people, invested with a global culture, internet, huge frustration, and a need for freedom and emancipation. Women played a major role in the revolutions. Some even became icons. Women are becoming the front line in a clash between secularism and traditionalism. Frenzy and sexual violence; taboos and prohibitions; constant stimulation on internet and TV... How will the Islamists handle this explosive cocktail?
