About the Film

After months of protests across Sudan in 2019, Omar al-Bashir’s three decade long dictatorship was put to an end by a coup d'état. But that summer, the military attacked civilians pursuing a peaceful transition to democracy by raiding a sit-in and severing access to the internet. An ocean away, Sudanese-American poets and musicians gather in major American cities to perform in support of the revolution. As the children of families who emigrated from Sudan decades ago, they engage in an absorbing dialogue around identity, belonging, and uncertainties about Sudan’s future.
