Director H. Meddeb captures a jubilant moment of defiance among young Sudanese activists in Khartoum after the overthrow of a long dictature.

As part of the 4th edition of the Princeton French Film Festival, join us for a screening of Sudan, Remember Us (2024) followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Hind Meddeb.

Logistics: In French and Arabic with English subtitles, this event will take place on Wednesday, March 25, 2026 from 7:00 PM. Open to everyone upon registration.

Synopsis: In April 2019, the Paris-based filmmaker Hind Meddeb travelled to Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, at a jubilant moment in the country’s history. The long-time dictator Omar Al-Bashir had recently been overthrown after a 30-year regime marked by genocidal violence in Darfur. Meddeb began filming with young activists rallying for a citizen’s government by staging sit-ins, making music, reciting poetry, and painting murals. Their hopes are expressed in signs that read “Sudan free from tribalism” and “religious pluralism.”
