ABOUT THE FILM

1 hour 16 minutes
In April 2019, the Paris-based filmmaker Hind Meddeb travelled to Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, at a jubilant moment in the country’s history. The long-time dictator Omar Al-Bashir had recently been overthrown after a 30-year regime marked by genocidal violence in Darfur. Meddeb began filming with young activists rallying for a citizen’s government by staging sit-ins, making music, reciting poetry, and painting murals. Their hopes are expressed in signs that read “Sudan free from tribalism” and “religious pluralism.
