Sudan, Remember Us (Sudan Y’a Ghali)

It is common for a political discussion to turn into a poetic joust. In Sudan, people recite poetry 
the way they breathe. Sudan, Remember Us is a cinematic chorus, the collective portrait of a generation fighting for freedom with their words, poems and chants. Without the dream guiding them, the power of imagination and the might of poetic discourse, they would not have overthrown the former regime. The film relates the uneven struggle that pitted the voices of the revolution against the fire of the militia. It documents how poetry is a tool of resistance in Sudanese revolution and how it is part of the protagonists’ lives. As it intertwines their stories, the film reassembles fragments of a revolution, relating the uneven struggle of the revolutionary youth against the military's might.
