Check out this trailer for Words of Women from the Egyptian Revolution, a documentary about the role women played during Egypt's revolution both on the frontlines and behind the scenes.
I like the tagline "Herstory to remind History: She was there, she is there and she will always be there."
According to the project's website, it "intends to shed the light on the participation of women and to document their experiences as part of the historical memory of the Egyptian revolution" by posting video messages and testimonials in Arabic with English and Spanish subtitles. The creators hope it will be "a tool for women empowerment everywhere and a source for researchers, students and everyone interested in the matter."
Great idea. I don't know the group personally (nor is this post an endorsement, though I like the idea!), but it looks like they are nowhere close of reaching their goal of raising $28,500. As of today they've only raised $2,950.
