Movie Haiku:Noujaim follows 3 men intimately involved in the Egyptian "Arab Spring" as their hopes for a peaceful citizen-lead revolution are crushed by political realities. While we applaud her access & 1st person footage, we left without actually learning anything new. We had hoped for more coherent analysis from the director who taught us so much in her prior docs.
