Tens of thousands of Egyptians have returned to the birthplace of last year’s popular uprising as officials say that delayed election results will be announced Sunday. The anti-military demonstrations in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, initiated Wednesday by the Muslim Brotherhood, continued to grow steadily Saturday as Egyptian voters expressed outrage over the delayed release of official results in the runoff election between Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi and Ahmed Shafiq, a former prime minister under ousted president Hosni Mubarak. The Muslim Brotherhood has released photocopied documents from each of the country’s electoral districts as well as a tally that shows its candidate ahead by about 900,000 votes.

"Shouts in the Sky" is a documentary film about the civil movement born in May, 2011, in Barcelona, Spain. Through an occupation of the main square, Plaça de Catalunya, which remained occupied for months to demand direct democracy and rethinking of economical and political structures, the movement created a new space that challenged the passivity of society. As the uprising grew, the state and the media used many ways to try to discredit and stop the movement violently - sound familiar? - but the movement was determined to peacefully resist, despite being fired upon by police brandishing rubber bullets.

"In the film we follow many dialogues between people, police, ideologies, political and economical forces and the state," the filmmakers said.
