SUMMARY:Sudan\, Remember Us
DESCRIPTION:Join PopChange Film Club for the next edition of our monthly programme featuring filmmakers from migrant and refugee backgrounds. \nIn 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. There 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. Standing in front of a powerful army\, how could the civilian movement find the strength to persist? \nIn conversations\, in demonstrations and on walls – the Sudanese tradition of poetry becomes a powerful tool for activism. Art\, music and poetry bolster every stage of the Sudanese fight for freedom. This extraordinary documentary bears witness to a lost revolution and within it unearths a tribute to the power of creativity as a tool of survival and resistance. \nThis screening will be introduced by Hind Meddab and followed by a Q&A. The film is in arabic w/ English language subtitles – descriptive subtitles for HoH audiences are available. \nFull details and tickets
