Reprieve Charity Film - Human Rights Abuse in Egypt

I made a video for the human rights charity Reprieve to raise awareness of the humanitarian abuses taking place in Egypt. The idea was to target western tourists visiting luxury Egyptian resorts.

To the exacting standards of a privileged western holidaymaker, these luxury hotels don’t always come up to scratch and review sites like Trip Advisor are filled with posts whining on about the quality of food in the all-you-can-eat buffets or complaining that the infinity swimming pool wasn't big enough.

All the while, just outside their pleasantly-decorated walls, things are happening to the Egyptian people that are ACTUALLY worth complaining about. Like, you know, executions and torture and stuff…

So I had the idea of filming Egyptian people, who'd survived torture and abuse at the hands of their government, reading out the Trip Advisor reviews of privileged western tourists complaining about their hotels at Sharm-el-Sheikh.
