DESCRIPTION:Film Showing: On the History of Struggle in Egypt\n“Nasser 56”\n\nWith 
 discussion of the Egyptian Revolution and the implications for the entire 
 region. \n\nThe black-and-white film depicts the tumultuous period of 1956 
 when the controversial Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser stunned the 
 world by seizing the Suez canal from its European owners, and declared it 
 Egyptian property.\n\nThe movie uses actual newsreel footage to illustrate 
 the ensuing battle that pitted Egypt against Israel, Britain and France. 
 The superpowers suppressed the crisis, and Egypt gained permanent control 
 of the canal.\n\nAt the time of the film’s release, Egyptian director 
 Mohamed Fadel explained how Nasser 56 struck a special chord among 
 Egypt’s disenchanted youth. “The Egyptian youth are in search of a 
 feeling of superiority and invincibility. The events surrounding the canal 
 represent, for the youth, true heroism.” 1996, 142min.\n\n$6 donation (no 
 one turned away for lack of funds)\n
