In "Tickling Giants", director Sara Taksler shines a spotlight on Bassem Youssef's courageous journey as Egypt's self-appointed satirist, who bravely defied tyranny to bring laughter and levity to his country. From humble beginnings as a heart surgeon turned comedian to the birth of Al Bernameg, a show that would unite the nation and test the limits of free press. The film offers a powerful testament to the enduring power of satire in shaping government policy and holding those in power accountable.
