Sudan, remember us
Description
At the outset of Sudan, remember us, documentarian Hind Meddeb, travels to Khartoum, Sudan’s capital city, to record the jubilation following the overthrow of genocidal leader Omar Al-Bashir that ended his 30-year regime of terror. It is a transitory moment in which Meddeb captures joy and possibility before the country devolves into civil war. Amidst the ensuing violence, the filmmaker finds a spark of hope in the activism of four Sudanese youths who employ poetry, sit-ins, music, and art to demand democracy. The film serves as a portrait of their courage, joy, and unwavering belief in the promise of a better, more equitable future, as well as a depiction of not only the country’s political reality, but also of its formidable and brave citizenry. —Bedatri Choudhury
