Generation Trend unravels the sophisticated pushes shaping the lives of four young Egyptians on the eve and in the aftermath of the Arab Planting season, and what their reports mean for future years of the Middle East. In 2003 Rachel Aspden found its way to Egypt as a 23-year-old journalist. She found a country on the brink of change. The two thirds of Egypt's eight million residents under the age of 30 were stifled, broken, and frustrated, captured between a dictatorship that acquired nothing to provide them and their autocratic parents' era, defined by tradition and conformity. In January 2011 the young people's fortitude ran away. They thought the revolution that adopted would change everything. But as violence escalated, the current economic climate collapsed, and since the united entry against Leader Mubarak shattered into sectarianism, many found themselves at a loss. Following the reports of four young Egyptians - Amr, the atheist software engineer; Amal, the village female who defied her family and her whole community; Ayman, the onetime spiritual extremist; and Ruqayah, the would-be teenage martyr - Generation Trend exposes the failures of the Arab Planting season and shines new light on those remaining in the wake of its lost promises.
