Words of Witness had its world premiere at the Berlinale Film Festival today, with 3 screenings to follow on February 13th, 14th & 17th. This feature documentary scored by Barbara Cohen follows 22-year-old Heba Afify as she heads out to cover the historical events shaping her country’s future. Defying cultural norms and family expectations, Heba takes to the streets to report on an Egypt in turmoil, using tweets, texts and Facebook posts. Her coming of age, political awakening and the disillusionment that follows, mirrors that of a nation seeking the freedom to shape its own destiny, dignity and democracy. Shie is proud to have been Ms. Cohen’s music editor on this film.
