A DFI supported film, ‘Sudan, Remember Us’ directed by emerging female director Hind Meddeb is a masterful depiction of compelling young activists in their fight for freedom using words, poems, and chants. The inspiring documentary delves deep into the untold stories of Sudan, bringing forward young voices of resilience, dignity, and hope in the face of turmoil, and highlights the strength of the Sudanese people in their struggle for peace and unity. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival earlier this year, and conveys the power of dreams, hope, and creativity to challenge oppressive forces.
“Opening Ajyal with ‘Sudan, Remember Us’ reflects our commitment to bring light to regions often overlooked and amplify voices that embody the resilience and strength of the human spirit,” said Fatma Hassan Alremaihi, CEO of Doha Film Institute and Ajyal Festival Director.
“Ajyal is a festival that honours hope, courage, and shared humanity, and this documentary epitomizes those values, reminding us all of the power of cinema to raise awareness, inspire compassion, and foster unity.”
