A year after the euphoria of Tahrir Square and Mubarak’s fall, Egypt’s revolution remains incomplete: many continue to suffer from State inflicted cruelty. More than 12 000 protesters have been arrested by the army and secret police, sentenced by summary military tribunals, and often tortured. The film follows several different people who have suffered injustice at the hands of the current post-revolutionary military regime. It shows how the systematic use of violence and fear by Mubarak’s regime continues after he has been ousted from power.

His Letters to the President was an exclusive access film about the regime of President Ahmadinejad of Iran.
