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.

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 Leila Latif Little White Lies In giv­ing space to those who can­not and should not be erased, Sudan, Remem­ber Us becomes not just a doc­u­men­tary. It is an act of resis­tance in itself. Rated: 4/5 Jun 29, 2025 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film A testimony to resistance in the face of repression. Rated: 4/5 Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Hugh Barnes The Arts Desk Often Meddeb steps beyond traditional documentary techniques to explore a soixante-huitard culture of agitprop, poetry, music and rap that lies at the heart of Sudan’s fight for freedom. Rated: 4/5 Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Knows that sometimes the most powerful tool of resistance is poetry.
