A collective portrait of the young Sudanese generation fighting for freedom through their words, poems, chants, and artistic creativity. Dreaming of a new Sudan led by a democratic and civilian government, they risk everything in their impassioned revolution to overthrow the country's military regime in the tumultuous years leading up to a military coup and a war of power between Burhan head of the official army and Hemetti leader of the Rapid Support Forces militia who want to seize the country's wealth forcing millions of people to take the roads of exile (it's not a civil war).
This film festival is presented in part by the Albertine Cinémathèque 2025-26 Film Festival season. Albertine Cinémathèque is part of the French For All initiative by Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education, and Albertine Foundation, and is made possible with the support from the Centre National du Cinéma et de l'Image Animée (CNC).
