The documentary Sudan, Remember Us, crafted by French journalist-turned-filmmaker Hind Meddeb, has recently garnered the prestigious TV5Monde Plus Audience Award at the 22nd African Film Festival of Tarifa-Tangier (FCAT 2025). This accolade underscores the film’s impactful portrayal of the resilience and resistance of Sudanese youth.

Making its debut on August 30, 2024, during the Giornate degli Autori section at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, the film follows the journeys of five young Sudanese revolutionaries—Shajane, Maha, Muzamil, Rufaida, and Khattab. They bravely challenge authoritarianism through their political and artistic expressions. Through a tapestry of poems, chants, and relentless activism, the documentary vividly illustrates a generation’s unwavering commitment to securing freedom in Khartoum.

The narrative intricately weaves their experiences from the historic 57-day sit-in at the Army headquarters to the tragic events of the June 3, 2019, massacre, the military coup in 2021, and the subsequent outbreak of war that forced many into exile. This documentary not only showcases personal and political resilience but also sheds light on the broader implications of military violence in regions such as Darfur, Kordofan, and Blue Nile.

Produced by Abel Nahmias of Echo Films, along with Michel Zana and Alice Ormières of Blue Train Films, and Tao Guiga of My Way, this France-Tunisia co-production amplifies the voices of a generation striving for justice and change, effectively bringing their struggle to a global audience.
