Stories of Sudanese activists intertwine to present a glimpse of a lost revolution, where the voices of youth grapple against the military's might.
In 2019, documentary filmmaker Hind Meddab flew to Sudan to film a sit-in protest at Army headquarters in Khartoum by the Sudanese people, demanding reform after decades of military dictatorship. There she met a selection of young activists who she continued to film over the next four years – documenting the swell of hope and accomplishment following dictator Omar al-Bashir’s fall, the oppression of the military crackdown and the subsequent civil war, which has left Sudan in ruins.
Bearing witness to a lost revolution, Sudan, Remember Us is a tribute to the power of creativity as a tool of resistance and a call for greater international recognition of Sudan’s devastating ongoing plight.
