'Not just another sad story from Africa' Timeea Ahmed wants you to know Khartoum, Sudan

In Timeea Ahmed's "Khartoum," five exiles of Sudan’s capital give voice to their experiences through reenactment, animation, and recollection. A collaborative documentary, headed by five co-directors, each bringing their unique perspectives and real-life experiences to a documentary that is one of one. Ahmed brings us along on the lives of these five protagonists (one being himself), showcasing their lives, dreams, hopes, and stories of love amidst the rubble. On this episode of the VIFF Podcast, we speak with Ahmed on using documentary film as an archive of life and a testament to what should be remembered in war. This podcast is brought to you by the Vancouver International Film Festival. Presented on the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.
