DESCRIPTION:Screening of the documentary ‘Sudan\, Remember Us’\, followed

 lah.\n\n---\n\nABOUT\n\nThe Humanitarian & Conflict Response Institute (
 HCRI) invites you to an event to watch the award-winning documentary ‘Su
 dan\, Remember Us’ written and directed by Hind Meddeb (synopsis below)\
 , and join a discussion with Hamid Khalafallah who will connect the 2019
  revolution to the current situation in Sudan. Hamid is a Sudanese resea
 rcher and policy analyst\, and currently a PhD candidate at the Universi
 ty of Manchester.\n\nThis event is free and public. We welcome everyone 
 in and out of the University: members of the University\, staff and stud
 ents\, and of the community of Manchester.\n\nHamid Khalafallah is a res
 earcher\, policy analyst and development practitioner. He is currently a
  PhD researcher at the Global Development Institute (GDI) of the Univers
 ity of Manchester\, researching grassroots movements and political trans
 itions in Africa. Before that\, Hamid worked for various international o
 rganisations in Sudan\, focusing on governance and development issues.\n
 \nFILM SYNOPOSIS\n\nIn 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 mil
 itary dictatorship. There she met a selection of young activists that sh
 e 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 to
 day\, leaves Sudan in ruins.\n\nStanding in front of a powerful army\, h
 ow could the civilian movement find the strength to persist? In conversa
 tions\, in demonstrations\, on walls\, it emerges how the Sudanese tradi
 tion for poetry becomes a powerful tool for activism. Art\, music and po
 etry bolster every stage of the Sudanese fight for freedom. ‘Sudan\, Rem
 ember Us’ bears witness to a lost revolution and within it unearths a tr
 ibute to the power of creativity as a tool of survival and resistance.\n
