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
