Political Documentary ‘Sudan, Remember Us’ Acquired by Watermelon Pictures (EXCLUSIVE)
Watermelon Pictures has acquired the U.S. rights to the documentary "Sudan, Remember Us," set to release theatrically this summer.
“Hind Meddeb’s urgent, defiant portrait of Sudan’s creative and revolutionary youth is exactly the kind of fearless storytelling we exist to champion,” Watermelon Pictures co-founder Hamza Ali said in a statement. In his Variety review out of TIFF, critic Murtada Elfadl described the film as “a thoughtful and empathetic look at how collective hope can mobilize a whole generation.” He went on to complement the cinematography and how “the camera is also attuned to the locations, giving the capital city Khartoum its individuality as a place with a rich history that nurtured these smart eloquent people.” Since being founded in April 2024, the Palestinian-owned Watermelon Pictures has released the Oscar shortlisted “From Ground Zero,” political drama “The Teacher” and timely documentary “The Encampments” in theaters.
