The Lurker tells the story of Mohannad, who decided to lurk inside the thugs and pro-Mubarak groups to know their plans to attack the revolutionary demonstrations against the military regime using hidden cameras.
After the first 18 days of the Egyptian revolution in Jan-Feb 2011, the military regime took the power. During this transitional period, there were many revolutionary demonstrations to ensure that the military regime will deliver the power to a civil state. But in many cases strange people attacked these demonstrations in different areas of Cairo city. No one knew who were those people, and the media TV channels used to say that those people are the folk of these areas whose refuse the claims of the demonstrators. Mohannad Galal, an Egyptian activist, decided to lurk himself inside those people and film them using his hidden cameras. He discovered a lot of surprises.—Emadeldin Elsayed
