The Battle of Mohamed Mahmoud
Guardian Video: Egyptian Military Defector
Two video rushes from the recent unrest in Cairo as the country began the long and much contested road into the national elections. The first film was shot at night and the police cut the power to Mohamed Mahmoud street. This led to some complicated and dangerous filming, overcoming pitch black sections of the street, a hail of unknown gas and live rounds fired from an unseen enemy less than fifty metres away.
The second rush follows protestors as they battle with police on Mohamed Mahmoud street for the fifth day on 23 November, eventually pushing the police back to the Interior Ministry and a ceasefire being put in place. That cease fire lasted about two hours.

Teaser Trailer: #JAN25
This is the teaser trailer for the work-in-progress documentary #JAN25. Using footage covering the first week of the uprising that has been nominated for the 2011 Rory Peck News Awards, with interviews from those caught in the violence on the streets and those caught trying to report the events – tense, shocking and often murderous moments unravel during those days of the Egyptian revolution.
Having traveled to Egypt twice so far, first in January as the uprising occurred, then in March as the Egyptian constitutional referendum was voted on and the first attacks on the Coptic Christian minority after the revolution were reported, a third trip is now planned to cover the events leading up to and after the general election.
It will be these final days that will determine the mood of the documentary and decide whether it will be a positive end to the Egyptian revolution for the people or will interim military government SCAF take full control of the country, or will Egypt become a hardline Islamic state, as Western interests fear?
In order to finish this documentary we are now seeking interest and funding. For further information please contact Jason N. Parkinson.

Rory Peck Awards
The Rory Peck Award finalists were announced on Monday 12 September. It turns out I’ve made it to one of the three finalists of the news section for the coverage of the Egyptian revolution. The rushes above are those that were sent out of Cairo by one of the few working Internet connections in the city during the uprising, after President Mubarak closed all communications to the outside world. Unfortunately for him, he missed a few.
