Soudan souviens-toi
Sinossi
Shajane, Maha, Muzamil, Rufaida, Khattab. They are Sudanese in their twenties, politically active and artistically creative. This film is a cinematic chorus, the collective portrait of a generation fighting for freedom with their words, poems and chants. Faced with a corrupted army responsible for war crimes in Darfur, Kordofan and Blue Nile, they could have lost heart before starting. Without the dream guiding them, the power of imagination and the might of poetic discourse, they would not have overthrown the former regime. I’ve been following them since I met them at the revolutionary sit-in that lasted 57 days around the Army headquarters in Khartoum. After they survived the 3rd of June 2019 massacre—when the army attacked the sit-in, killing hundreds of people in a few hours,
while resisting the military coup of October 2021, until the war started, causing death and destruction everywhere, forcing everyone to take the roads of exile.
