Meet Asmaa Mahfouz and the vlog that helped spark the Egyptian Revolution
This vlog was recorded on January 18, 2011 by Asmaa Mahfouz, the girl who helped start it all. She had shared it on her Facebook, and it had gone viral. It was so powerful and so popular, that it drove Egyptians by the thousands into Tahrir Square, and drove the Egyptian government to block Facebook.
