0:00.0 | From KCRW and KCRW.com, I'm Kim Masters, and this is The Business. |
0:08.7 | We had about five cameras destroyed and footage taken, and it's always the footage that gets taken, |
0:15.0 | that you're like, you sort of romanticize it, that this was everything that you ever wanted to capture, |
0:20.6 | and it's gone. |
0:22.0 | Jahan Nujame is the filmmaker behind the new documentary, The Square. |
0:26.3 | She shot the revolution in the streets of Egypt, where the police and military were not her friends. |
0:31.8 | We also talk with one of the individuals she follows in the film, |
0:35.5 | Khaled Abdullah, an actor and activist who joined the |
