‘Khartoum’ Review: A Collective of Filmmakers Captures an Embattled City With Ingenuity and Hopeful Spirit
While the war still rages in Sudan, this group-effort documentary offers context and healing.
When all of the participants were forced to leave Sudan before they could finish filming, they gathered in Nairobi, Kenya, to find refuge in each other while coming up with inventive ways to tell a story that could only be told in the eponymous city they love. Khadmallah, a tea stall owner from Sudan’s western Nuba Mountains, has managed to make her small corner of the city an oasis for friends and passersby to gather and commiserate. Each of these narrative threads is captured by a separate filmmaker: Lokain and Wilson by Rawia Alhag, Jawad by Timeea Mohamed Ahmed, Khadmallah by Anas Saeed and Majdi by Brahim Snoopy.
