Directed by Suhaib Gasmelbari (2019)
Filmmakers and friends for more than 45 years, Ibrahim Shaddad, Suliman Elnour, Manar Al Hilo, and Eltayeb Mahdi are idealists and intensely humane. Reunited after long years of distance and exile, these representatives of the Sudanese Film Group seek to resume their old dream of making cinema a reality in Sudan—in part by reopening an outdoor movie theater in the city of Omdurman. They are determined to leave a trace of their passage, and through the images they created, the ones they lost, and the ones that remain a desire, the beautiful and horrific faces of their country appear.
