Revolution, where are you? In today's Egypt, aspirations for freedom are caught between the iron fist of Field Marshal Sissi and the absolute necessity to live. Four young Egyptians who participated in the January 2011 uprising reflect on their own history, their own image, and share their feelings about the current situation. What kind of life can they lead in this context of violent repression and nationalist propaganda, after an unprecedented surge of freedom? What is the legacy - or the burden - of the youth who were at the forefront of the revolt? "Still Alive" paints an intimate portrait of an emerging generation, its political commitment and its disappointed dreams.
