A powerful demonstration of how satire can influence government policy;
and a sobering warning regarding the double-edged effects of regime
change. TICKLING GIANTS tells the story of political satirist
Bassem
Youssef,
referred to as the "Jon Stewart of Egypt". Youssef gave up his
lucrative medical profession as a heart surgeon in 2011 to become one of
Egypt's most powerful television voices of dissent against an
oppressive regime.
