"Every time 22-year-old journalist Heba Afify heads out to cover the historical events shaping her country's future, her mother is compelled to remind her, "I know you are a journalist, but you're still a girl!" Defying cultural norms and family expectations, Heba takes to the streets to report on an Egypt in turmoil, using tweets, texts and Facebook posts. Her coming of age, political awakening and the disillusionment that follows, mirrors that of a nation seeking the freedom to shape its own destiny, dignity and democracy."

Quel regard ont-ils porté sur l’élection de 2007, le Bling Bling, le pouvoir personnel, les dérapages, la mise au pas des médias, les crises financières et politiques, les fiascos diplomatiques, les accusations de népotisme avec l’affaire Jean Sarkozy, le divorce et le mariage à grand spectacle, la course aux voix du Front National, la chasse aux Roms, le Printemps Arabe, la guerre en Libye, la chute dans les sondages, l’élection de 2012, etc. À travers le point de vue de ces journalistes prestigeux, tous fascinés par la complexité du personnage, et à l'aide d'archives du monde entier, William Karel nous offre plus qu'un portrait ou un bilan, une chronique (im)pertinente et sans concession du règne de Nicolas Sarkozy.
