About Sudan, Remember Us
سودان يا غالي
Following Shajane, Maha, Muzamil, and Khattab: four young Sudanese activists in their twenties, these politically active and artistically creative youth are but a few of a generation fighting for freedom with their words, poems, and chants. Buoyed by courage, sheer will and collective hope, these Sudanese youth risked everything to overthrow the country’s military regime through impassioned revolution.
Spanning the years from the Sudanese revolution of 2019, to the outbreak of the grievous civil war in 2023, this immensely moving documentary captures a collective portrait of Sudanese youth, dreaming of a new, democratic Sudan. Hind Meddeb’s documentary is a testament to the resistance and revolutionary spirit of Sudan, and in her words: ‘a cinematic chorus’.
In a time when Sudan has faced two years of a violent, counter-revolutionary war, famine, and, millions of people forced into exile, along with the indifference of the rest of the world, this film is a portrait of a nation and a people who will continue to persist and insist on a bright and just future.
