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.

Alissa Wilkinson New York Times 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. Aug 8, 2025 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Sudan, Remember Us gives voice to the ordinary revolutionaries it portrays. Rated: 4/5 Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times What the film doesn’t offer is a ready timeline of modern Sudan to map the wider, tragic context. The flipside is bearing witness to hope in close-up. Rated: 4/5 Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 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. Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Ria Dhull Spectrum Culture Sudan, Remember Us is a moving documentary about the events leading up to the ongoing Sudanese civil war. Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Sarah Vincent InBetweenDrafts Sudan, Remember Us shows life under military versus civilian rule and lets the viewer decide which government offers a better life.
