A script for a controversial, banned film about the 1956 Suez crisis made by the United Nations is discovered in a museum archive. Intrigued by a possible connection to the present, a filmmaker travels to Egypt to search for traces of civilian resistance against colonial and military oppression.
Drifting from a forgotten archival manuscript to the streets of Egypt, Louis Henderson’s compact documentary affirms that history is never a closed book. In tracing the lesser-known details surrounding the 1956 Suez crisis, the film finds echoes of the country’s contemporary political turbulence.
