Siblings Alaa Abd el-Fattah and Sanaa Seif became icons of Egypt’s pro-democracy uprising, but their biggest battle was still to come. In part one, Sanaa goes from spoiled, party-loving teen to being a committed activist, joining – to their surprise – her already very politically active family. But while finding their way in a new Egypt, Sanaa and her family would soon be on a collision course with the authorities.
