Sudan, Remember Us (2024) Hind Meddeb
In 2019, documentary filmmaker Hind Meddab flew to Sudan to film a sit-in protest at the Army headquarters in Khartoum. The people of Sudan were assembling, demanding reform after decades of military dictatorship. She met a selection of young activists that she would continue to film over the course of 4 years, from the swell of hope and accomplishment following dictator Omar al-Bashir’s fall to the oppression of the military crackdown and subsequent civil war, which today, leaves Sudan in ruins.
Faced with a formidable army, it emerges how civilians drew their strength to persist through art, music and poetry as a powerful tool for activism. The film pays tribute and bears witness to the power of creativity as a tool of survival and resistance in the Sudanese fight for freedom.
