This award-winning documentary comes to Oxford straight from the London Film Festival. It beautifully tells the story of five Sudanese people – a civil servant, a tea lady, a resistance committee volunteer, and two street boys – all in search of freedom, who have their stories unexpectedly woven together through animated dreams, street revolutions and a civil war.

Attending the screening are two of the film’s protaganists who have flown in from Nairobi and so, following the screening we will have a Directors Q&A. This is with Rawia Alhag, a Sudanese journalist based in Nairobi; Khadmallah Ali, a Sudanese activist also based in Nairobi; and Phil Cox, a British filmmaker, followed by a short wine reception.

A world cinema collaboration produced by Native Voice Films & The Sudan Film Factory. Directed by Rawia Alhag, Anas Saeed, Ibrahim Snoopy, Timeea Mohammed & Phil Cox. Produced by Giovanna Stopponi & Talal Afifi.
