The Grup de Recerca sobre Exclusió i Control Social (GRECS) and the Observatori de la Vida Quotidiana (OVQ), which are collaborating on the project “Strong Squares: the political beating of the heart of the city" present an intervention that takes participants on a documentary journey through the promised world of the information "freedom" that the Internet puts within our reach. In the tumultuous Arab social context of 2011, the Net emerged as one of most crucial tools for spreading information about the popular uprisings in different countries in the region. A year later, if we want to go back and follow the trail of those revolts, we simply type a keyword into a search engine and we are faced with millions of possibilities. But beyond this initial avalanche of data, what kind of information can we glean from this noisy, slippery magma? In this intervention we will explore how collective memory (and also forgetting) is shaped in a context such as this, through a search focusing on two uprisings that occurred almost simultaneously: the revolution in Cairo’s Tahrir Sqare, which received strong media coverage, and the citizen uprising in Tahrir Square, Baghdad, which was silenced in the press. By following this dual path, we will be able to experience the potential autonomy of the virtual world as a source of information independent of the mainstream media, and to consider the limitations of the Net as a scenario of and for social conflict.

In the summer 10 years before this film was made, the Bosnian Serb army occupied the Srebrenica enclave. The East Bosnian town had been declared a “safe area” by the United Nations' Security Council. In the days following the fall of the city, over 8,000 Bosnian Muslim prisoners were killed and buried in mass graves. Women were deported to Tuzla. The international peacekeeping forces did not intervene to stop the executions and deportations. In April 2004, the International Criminal Tribunal for ex Yugoslavia declared the Srebrenica events of July 1995 a “genocide”.
