They are young Sudanese yearning for freedom. Their revolution is poetic, driven by the power of words.

As it intertwines their stories, the film reassembles fragments of a revolution, a battle pitting the voices of youth against the military’s might.

Shajane, Maha, Muzamil, Khatab and the voice of the poet Chaikhoon. They are in their twenties, politically active and artistically creative. This film is a cinematic chorus, the collective portrait of a generation fighting for freedom with their words, poems and chants.

Faced with a corrupted army and a paramilitary militia responsible of war crimes in Darfur, Kordofan and Blue Nile, they could have lost heart before starting. Without the dream guiding them, the power of imagination and the might of poetic discourse, they would not have overthrown the former regime. The film relates the uneven struggle that pitted the voices of the revolution against the fire of the militia.

Screening: Saturday 6 September at 3pm.
