Five lives, one city, a nation at war. A civil servant, a tea lady, a resistance committee volunteer and two street boys. Five stories from Sudan weave together in search of freedom through animated dreams, street revolutions and a war from the metropolis of Khartoum to escape in East Africa.

A film by: Anas Saeed | Rawia Alhag | Ibrahim Snoopy | Timeea M.Ahmed
with Yousef Jubeh & Phil Cox

“As filmmakers behind the camera and participants in front, we’re all from different backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, genders, and social classes. Such differences are what have too often been used to fuel past Sudanese conflicts as well as the current war in Sudan. However, in this film journey we discovered each other in a deeper and richer way and learnt to work together and support each other. We also realized that our diversity is actually a source of strength. We have become one cinema family irrespective of our age, class background, ethnicity or color. We wish our film to be a valuable piece of archive for the future and a poetic tribute to Khartoum and its people and to all the people of Sudan at this pivotal moment in our nation’s history.”

“This film represents our resistance to war and our belief in the Sudanese people to overcome.”
Snoopy, Rawia, Timeea and Anas.
