Tickling Giants
PRESENTED BY: Meaningful Movies in KirklandTake a feather and tickle a giant in the foot. It’s a risk. Will the giant laugh or stomp on you?
Tickling Giants tells the story of Dr. Bassem Youssef, the “Egyptian Jon Stewart”, who decides to leave his job as a heart surgeon and become a late-night comedian. The movie is about how he finds creative, non-violent ways to protect free speech and fight a president who abuses his power.
Youssef’s show was a force of nature. 30 million people in Egypt watched each episode. By comparison, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart averaged about two million viewers a night.
