Synopsis:

FREEDOM BUS tells the story of Ashraf El Sharkawy, 39, who leaves behind an established life as a successful manager in Germany to start a campaign in Egypt helping to spread the idea of democracy. Driven by the urge to give back something to his parents home country, Ashraf - born and raised in Germany, to Egyptian parents - develops a campaign named 'Freedom Bus'. Prior to the first truly free elections in the history of Egypt, Ashraf travels the entire country with a team of companions in his 'Freedom Bus'. Their goal: to self-empower the Egyptian people - hoping they will not miss out on their historic chance to vote.

How can democratic thinking be established in a country that has never experienced it before? Ashraf El Sharkawy knows Egypt only from his summer holidays. He was born in Germany to Egyptian parents. Driven by the urge to give something back to his ancestor's country, Ashraf returns to Egypt to start a democratization campaign called „Freedom Bus'. But suspicion is rooted deeply in the minds of the people when the „foreigner' and „liberal' Ashraf wants to talk about why it is important to vote.
