An archive of resistance: Documenting Egypt's revolution

On Jan. 16, “858: An Archive of Resistance,” a vast collection of videos documenting the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, was launched online.

The videos, 858 hours in total, document police abuse, protests, labor strikes, scenes from the morgue following the death of protesters and many other events that occurred mostly between the years 2011 and 2013.
