When was the last time you heard a story about Sudan told by S udanese people themselves? As one of the world’s largest humanitarian cris es continues, much of what we see and hear about Sudan is reduced to headl ines.

Through the eyes of a Sudanese filmmaker and the sto ries of Sudanese Red Crescent volunteers, teachers, community members, and others living through the crisis, the documentary brings audiences closer to the realities of life in Sudan today.
