Making Sense of a Historic Revolution in Egypt

PBS NEWSHOUR & ITVS TEAM UP TO EXPLAIN 18 DAYS OF PROTEST AND THE OUSTING OF PRESIDENT MUBARAK

Nearly three weeks of protest on the streets of Cairo have managed to upend a government and president that ruled Egypt for almost 30 years. Join the PBS NewsHour and ITVS next Tuesday for a live chat featuring international filmmakers and newsmakers as well as community organizers, educators, and activists to trace the evolution of democracy movements worldwide, with a special focus on Egypt. Moderated by PBS NewsHour Correspondent Hari Sreenivasan, the online discussion will go live at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT (8 PM in Egypt) on Tuesday, February 15 on pbs.org/newshour/extra/egypt.
