Gives a different perspective on the biblical story of the invasion of Egypt, and highlights how part of this tradition is to believe that the ancestors built the country of Egypt alone, one is always in unjust bondage, and the struggle for freedom and independence doesn't end no matter how free someone is where they live now — parallel to such current narratives going on in other cultures in the US today.
