About me

I participated in the film Free Trip to Egypt.

Ellen & Terry's Trip To Egypt

Now living in Conowingo, Md. (recently relocated from Fawn Grove, Pa.), the retired school teacher (who continues to substitute, frequently in special education), 70, is Jewish and was a ‘60s liberal who “protested everything intolerant” but recalled her post-9/11 transformation before the trip, “I’m so racist now, I can’t stand myself”; and her husband, then 69, a retired quality control manager for General Motors, described by one of their sons as a xenophobe. Ellen heard a radio interview with Tarek Mounib and submitted a video to be considered as a participant. Both Deckers found the experience life-changing. HOSTED BY: Ahmed Hassan, a cinematographer and an Egyptian revolutionary, a key figure in the Oscar-nominated, Emmy Award-winning movie The Square (2013), about a group of Egyptian revolutionaries risking their lives to build a new society of conscience.
