Join the North Jersey Amnesty local group on Sunday, March 18th for a screening of Tickling Giants, the documentary featuring Egyptian comedian Bassem Youssef. 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. We are presenting this screening in partnership with Montclair Film, which connects global filmmakers with audiences in a diverse, culturally vibrant community by presenting films and year-round programs that engage, entertain and educate through the power of visual storytelling.
