Description:
Drawing on a letter by Friedrich Engels and a 1974 account of imprisoned Marxist writers under Nasser, Straub-Huillet made this film in France and Egypt in 1980. The film explores Egypt's history of peasant uprisings and independence from Western control, drawing parallels to class struggles in France leading up to the 1789 Revolution. It incorporates writings by Engels and excerpts from the early documentary film *Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory* (1895).
