After the Arab Spring

Five young Arabs from countries that went through the 2011 revolutions reflect on what has happened five years on.


In December 2010, protests broke out in Tunisia which led to the first of the series of revolutions that became known as the Arab Spring.

In this film, five young people from Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Syria and Libya look back at the revolutions in their respective countries - at the effect these revolutions have had on their lives, at what has happened since, and their hopes and fears for the future.

Insaf Qasmi, from Tunis, was 15 during the uprising and now studies media and management at university. "Today's Tunisia is better than yesterday's Tunisia," she says, and feels that civil society needs to be strengthened for the country to succeed.
