Nasser: From Dream to Disaster | History | Subtitled Documentary 

The french got some nerves comparing Nasser to Hitler when they were bombing Algeria with Napalm themselves.

As Arabs, our biggest problem is we rely on persons rather than institutions

I will not watch this absurdity, but the title of the video attracted me: Nasser led from the dream to a catastrophe. Well, the great powers were afraid and their skin shivered at the name Nasser. Because of Nasser, more than 3/4 of the Arab countries gained their independence, and because of Nasser, the Arabs became well educated, trained and qualified, and because of Nasser, the Soviet Union became a supportive force. For the Arabs, and because of Nasser, non-neutrality was established. Because of Nasser, Egypt entered into wars that did not concern it after it was one of the richest countries in the world, and major countries owed it. Because of Nasser, we created the Suez Canal, in which more than a million Egyptians were martyred because of the occupation and because of Nasser. We fought the tripartite aggression that tried to occupy us again, France and Britain, and the stupid little Israel, which, despite our knowledge, has no knowledge of war and needs someone to fight for it. Egypt was fighting everything American in 67 and 73. Arab nationalism existed in the conscience of the Arabs because of Nasser Revolution against the occupation and supporting revolutions against it because of Nasser The largest funeral the world has ever witnessed will be for Nasser, a person who wanted freedom for all Arab countries. Countries such as Britain, all of Europe, and America feared him. May God have mercy on Gamal Abdel Nasser ✌🏻🇪🇬🕊

The mistake that Gamal Abdel Nasser committed was that he entered Egypt into many unnecessary wars, such as the war in Yemen My father served 7 years in the army, including five years in the era of Gamal Abdel Nasser and two years in the era of Sadat, and he participated in the war of 67 and 73, and he was going to participate in the Yemen war, then his destination changed to Sinai at the last moments for the war of 67 May God have mercy on my father, he passed away in December 2019 💔

He liberated the whole of Africa not only Egypt. He supported the Mao mao in Kenya, Hosted Ignatius Musaazi of Uganda when the British wanted him dead, supported the ANC in south Africa, united the Monrovia and the Casablanca factions in the 1959 Accra conference on the independence of Africa , supported the FLN in Algeria against the French, inspired the late Gaddafi to rise to power in Libya, so many other tremendous contributions to Africa as a whole. RIP Col: Abdul Gamal Nasser!

Many in the comments fail to note the most important point of the documentary. Nasser allowed Jordan, Syria and Palestine to force him into a war with Israel, though he did not want this war. The result was Egypt’s humiliation, military defeat, the end of the pan-Arab movement, and growth of Islamism. Nasser chose a one party state rather than democracy, which required a secret police, imprisonment and torture of dissidents. He was so popular, he did not need to be a dictator, and could have achieved more as a democratic president.

Me parece un reportaje excepcional. Nací en el 54 y muchos de los hechos que narra me resultaron ajenos por ser una niña Española. Para juzgar a Gamal Abdel Nasser habría que ponerse en su lugar. Quién podría haberlo hecho de otro modo que como él lo hizo?. Muchas gracias.

As an Indonesian we basically learn that Gamal Abdel Nasser was a friend of our 1st president Sukarno. Just like what they tell about Sukarno, they barely tell anything about the negatives of Nasser during his reign. For me what happened to Egypt not something too far from what happened to Indonesia with periods full of power struggle between leftist politicians, corrupt military officers, radical Muslims and the masses that actually want an honest democratic government but at least unlike Egypt, we actually get our democracy. Sure nothing totally perfect, our politics still haunted by our past but we have to move on. Wish the best for both countries.

1:48 An episode of the British detective drama "Poirot", a TV adaptation of Agatha Christie's novels and short stories, depicted King Farouk in the early 1930s, before he became king, as a fictional character. Not surprisingly, he was depicted in a very negative light. The title of the Poirot episode was "The Theft Of The Royal Ruby".

I worked in Egypt in the epoch of Nasser. I saw many historic events shown in the documentary by my own eyes. Nasser is one of the great leaders of world.

Very informative documentary..

Nice documentary , thanks.

Excellent documentary that I enjoyed watching.Keep it up 👍.

رضوان الله عليك ايها الزعيم الطاهر الخالد في قلوبنا رمز العروبة والتاريخ بن النيل ومصر ❤

Appreciate your excellent coverage

One social aspect told to me by Middle and Upper Class Egyptians of Nasser’s economic management was the gradual decline of housing standards - the imposition he made on rental increase by Landlords resulted in little or no expenditure on repairs. His heart was in the right place, like many of his policies, but he faced impossible tasks - however, he demonstrated great ability as a ‘politician’. He probably was a great influence on Gaddafi, who wanted to achieve across Africa what Nasser attempted in the Arab World. Their deaths indicate the difference in esteem their countrymen held for them.

Great admiration and great respect. Your beautiful words that provide accurate, useful and wonderful information. Thank you for all the beautiful words for your great effort

Very well made,good job 👌

EPIC DOCUMENTARY!

Excellent documentary

Well done and brilliant documentary.

Nasser proved the maxim, "The road to hell is full of good intentions", his good intentions led Egypt to disastrous outcomes over and over again.

his documentary paints a nuanced portrait of the charismatic President Nasser, from the 1950s to his brutal death in 1970. Using numerous eyewitness accounts, it retraces the great battles that were Nasser’s, from the economic development of Egypt to the unfulfilled dream of a great union of Arab nations.

This documentary film helps me a lot for my university assignment on Jamal Nasser

Gamal Abdel Nasser was the only modern leader of Arab Nation , that why we adore him

لم يكن خائناً ولا عميل ومرتزق لأمريكا والغرب .. رحمه الله وأسكنه فسيح جناته ...

This is fantastic.

الله يحمي مصر والشعب المصري أخوكم من سورية

well made documentary

With maximum support of the people of Egypt, who loved their leader, it is always good to do what these beautiful need. Focus on development and peace with all. President Nasser would have seen very good years for Egypt and all Arab world. May Egypt prosper and its peace embrace peace. God bless them and their country.

Good job

Excellent

Reportage très intéressant

Rest in Peace, Gamal Abdel Nasser. The LION of Egypt. Egypt's GREATEST leader. I LOVE Abdel Nasser, the Pride of Egypt.

Pero el documental es muy muy bueno enhorabuena por el documental su canal lo sigo siempre y es para mí entender uno de los mejores de su género

Muy buen documental. 👍

7:11 look at those waves, the guy was spinning 🌊

He wanted to change things for good, but wanting something is not enough. He was thrown in the hands of Soviets. For many things he did not had much options. USA, UK and the West kept with Israel. It seems he did his best.

Thank you

Peace and stability has been desired by many for many people. May this desire be realized in reality as we walk together into the future.

The statment that the the thousand year old jewish commjnity was not expelled is barely a half truth. Egytian Jews had their businesses and property confisacted and they were legally discrimiated against. Egyptian jews were expressly invited to leave

History indeed

Some good vintage shit. Keep it up 🇩🇰

Excelente

all documentaries by Michel Rotman are quality ones

لماذا لم يتحدث الوثائقي المتحيز عن مشروع ناصر الاقتصادي والصناعي وعن التغير الاجتماعي الكبير الذي حصل في مصر وانتشال ملايين المصريين من الفقر والجهل

Imagine how much efforts and crucial resources Egyptians have lost due to the political ambition of one man. Not to mention that of Yemenies, Jordanians, Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians. So many decisions that could have been made differently, would have entirely changed the fate of all Arab nations.

1967 war defeat and the involvement of the Egyptian forces in North Yemen were two humiliations that continue to damage Nasser's legacy, even today.

One of my teachers, Muhammad Qutb, who was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood dating back to the 1950s, told us in class how when Abdul Nasser was a military officer he had a good working relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood but as soon as he gained political power he imprisoned many of the Brotherhood. My teacher who had been imprisoned twice, a well as other members of his family, described how he and some of the other members of the Brotherhood were tortured and some even killed and this was Abdul Nasser policy of dealing with the Brotherhood.

Valeu!

He was good at staging this .

Abdel Nasser was the enemy of colonialism in Africa So the West hates Nasser Nasser stood against French colonialism in Algeria Nasser stood against Belgian colonialism in the Congo Nasser stood against British colonialism in Egypt, Yemen and Ghana Nasser stood against Portuguese colonialism in India The Egyptian radio was speaking in 33 different African languages ​​to support Africans against colonialism Nelson Mandela, Fidel Castro, Malcolm X and Che Guevara all looked at Nasser with pride and said many wonderful words about him. So they got rid of him

After seeing this documentary as a European I feel that he was trying to make egypt beter and that as a leader he was trying to do good

When Nasser took over Egypt, we were a wealthy, and beautiful country. In only a few decades him and his system crushed our economy and everything good about our country

From Spain, I share what is said in another comment that one of the great problems of the Muslim world is that they are looking for a leader, when what they should do is build effective institutions. Another problem that the Muslim world has not yet resolved and that in the West was resolved with the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, is that religion should not interfere in public life.

Rayos! Me encantaría escuchar este documental en español, así podre hacer mi tarea tranquilo.

The man who destroyed his nation future destroyed history, the present and the future, destroyed the pound, destroyed the agricultural land, entered wars in which he did not win, established the police state and military rule, a legacy of failure from which we still suffer. There is neither peace nor mercy for those who are wronged.

Interesting...

That a,weird cut video at the end . But great effort on the video

Nasser is the best and most honorable Arab leader in the modern era, and all the decline that happened to the Arabs happened after him. The West and America agreed on him because he was honorable.

As it has been claimed over the ages that the departing had been granted visions of what lay in the future, what did the soul of deceased Nasser foresee for Egypt and the rest of the Arab world in the 21st Century?

Ist there any concern in that documentary about napalm . Thanks for this interesting documentary .

Nasser is a true patriot of Egypt!

Nasser turned our lives upside down. One man can cause so much harm. For the Jews of Egypt he was the Pharaoh.

يعيش زعيم الأمة العربية وقائدها، الرحمة والجلال لروحك يا جمال عبد الناصر.

The World with peace, unity and love, watching from berbera somaliland republic,, v

43:01 The radio was announcing on the basis of field reports, and it was deceptive for a certain reason, which is that the Israeli planes were equipped with spare tanks that they were disposing of in the air, so the observers thought that the plane itself had fallen

Nasser is a classic example of what happens when you over glorify people over institutes. Treating leaders as indispensable gods is a mistake that sadly Egyptians still make to this day, moving from one undereducated military halfwit to another.

Amazing stuff! Why doesn't the History channel show this instead of aliens and people repairing old cars????

R.I.P. leader Nasser he was the only president who cared about poor people letting them be healed education job opportunities he made the high dam at Aswan to save the water for the Egyptians he helped the liberty revolutions everywhere Allah yerhamoh

5:52 - Over a thousand brothers?!! - WOW! 😮 I feel sorry for the mum...

تحية لروح الزعيم الخالد جمال عبدالناصر 🌷🌷🌷

Am form ghana Africa I love this man

We still suffering the consequences of his policy & irrational decsions

الله يرحمه ويغفر له كان عامل كرامة للشعب العربى

دالك اشبه بتناول جرعة من الكوكايين كان حتميا أن ينشط الجسم لكن ينتظره انهيار شامل لقد صنع هاؤلاء الفتيان المتحمسين أنظمة عسكرية مافيوزية مازالت الى اليوم يتحمل الناس تبعاته لقد

Thanks for Persian subtitle

@22:40 saladin wasn't an Arab. He was an ethnic Kurd.

One of the best Arab Leader Ever, Our grand parents from Lebanon used to support him and love him to the last breath, You such a leader will never die, always rising in our heart

Good documentary, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Just one detail, however: the reference to the medieval leader Saladin is incorrect. He was not Arab, he was Kurdish

52:12 - where's the audio??

Before Nasser, Egypt 1.) 1 EGP was equal to 2 pound sterling 2.) Egypt had: Darfur, Nubia and Sudan 3.) Cairo was the most beautiful city in the world 4.) Egypt had foreign communities that made up of: Greeks, Italians, Jews, Armenians and Maltese that were good for the economy 5.) Egypt was the richest country in the Middle East 6.) Egypt was the greatest producer of cotton.

How sad..many life’s were directly affected

YOUR CONTENT IS GREAT I HOPE ONE EPISODE ABOUT MOHMAD NAGIB,PLEASE.THE FIRST PERSIDENT OF EGYPT😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

29:20 there is an error here in the translation he didn't meant the " fail " or the " فشل " in arabic but he said " الفاشية " and I can't descirbe it because me english is trash

Long live Egypt ❤️🇪🇬💪

Nasser had his flaws but he was a great leader

Everytime you cut to his daughter I felt like throwing up

Just imagine if Nasser had made progress in any sector, what would have been the attitude towards him 😳

Nasser was the best egyptian president by far..he was petriot loved by coptic minority, land of Egypt was safe, no fanatics, ladies looked very glamour, no corrupted businesses thieves, he worked hard to manufacture his own products, he has a simple life with his family like any egyptian citizen, he had the historic public funeral, no other president had. He was the hero, the man who never allow the religion division in his nation. I was lucky to live in Egypt at Nasser's time.

It seems that the documentary ignored the Brotherhood's confessions of the truth (the Mansheya incident), and that was after the Egyptian revolution in 2011, when the Brotherhood thought that things were heading in their favor, so they began to open the pages of their history away from fears, and therefore Youssef Al-Qaradawi (the Grand Mufti of the Brotherhood) admitted that the incident was real, as well The Grand Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mahdi Akef, admitted that the incident was not a representation, and others admitted that, and all of this is documented and published on RU-vid. Part of the Brotherhood's strategy of violence is to practice violence against others, then claim that what happened was government forgery, and issue statements and books renouncing violence.

Abdennasser was a hero of paper, he did nothing but removing royale familly

شعب يبكي على جلاده .

Salute to Nasser and Egypt and all the Arab ummah.

To all Egyptians who hate foreign culture and imperialism: What language do you speak? What religion do you practice? What economic policies do you follow? None of these are Egyptian.

Watch you the movie of Gillo Pontecorvo,"the Algeri war".

Thanks for the documentary from a 45 yo european from a small country.

To Africa he was atrue pan africanist,liberated algeria, Angola, Mozambique,south africa,rhodesia,list is endless

Nasser The greatest Egyptian president in history

رحم الله الزعيم جمال عبدالناصر
