Year: 1981

Runtime: 104 mins

Language: French

Director: Jean-Marie Straub

Documentary

Drawing on a Friedrich Engels letter and a 1974 account of two Marxist writers imprisoned under Nasser, Straub‑Huillet filmed the work in France and Egypt in 1980. It surveys Egypt’s peasant struggle and anti‑colonial liberation, connects it to class tensions in France just before the 1789 Revolution, and quotes Engels alongside the 1895 Lumière documentary *Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory*.
