In 2019, documentary filmmaker Hind Meddab flew to Sudan to film a sit-in protest at the Army headquarters in Khartoum. The people of Sudan were assembling, demanding reform after decades of military dictatorship. There she met a selection of young activists that she would continue to film over the course of 4 years, from the swell of hope and accomplishment following dictator Omar al-Bashir's fall to the oppression of the military crackdown and subsequent civil war, which today, leaves Sudan in ruins. Standing in front of a powerful army, how could the civilian movement find the strength to persist? In conversations, in demonstrations, on walls, it emerges how the Sudanese tradition for poetry becomes a powerful tool for activism. Art, music and poetry bolster every stage of the Sudanese fight for freedom. SUDAN, REMEMBER US bears witness to a lost revolution and within it unearths a tribute to the power of creativity as a tool of survival and resistance.

Employing minimal narration or directorial interjection while amplifying the voices of Sudanese people, Meddeb crafts a timely, arresting portrait of everyday revolutionaries, materialising their chant for the wider world to hear.

This is why documentaries like “Sudan, Remember Us” need to exist. It’s right there in the name — these films form a testimony, a stalwart assertion of existence: we were here, and we will not go quietly.

This film is 78 minutes long, which, considering the subject matter, hardly seems long enough to really show westerners ... the full scale of what is occurring in the African nation. And it's not, but you can do some reading.

Short (78 minutes) if hardly sweet, Remember Us nonetheless is gracefully made, with lots of good music and moments of stirring hope amidst brutalities and deprivations.
