In Out on the Street (2015), ten workers conduct an acting workshop in Helwan, Egypt, recounting and rehearsing cases of state oppression, exploitation, corruption and protest. Scenes are enacted and reimagined, at times combined with found footage and material evidence. Beyond a mere peek at a single microcosm, the film pays tribute to collective testimony, factory solidarity, and the working classes persisting as such internationally, despite all claims of their historical disappearance.
