Sabren

The film captures the struggles of Sudanese revolutionaries after the October 2021 coup – a turning point that halted the revolution's progress and led to the current devastating war. Filmed over three years (2021-2023), including just weeks before the war began, it portrays life in Sudan during that turbulent time, blending scenes of peaceful daily life, protests, and resistance, especially during Ramadan and Bayram. Created by Sudanese activists and artists, the film sheds light on the overlooked causes of the war, challenging the narrative of a »civil war« and exposing deeper capitalist and colonial forces.
