Sudan film history made at Cannes while conflict rages at home
This year's Cannes Film Festival will showcase the first film from Sudan ever to be included in its official selection. Goodbye Julia is a relationship drama set in Khartoum before South Sudan gained independence in 2011.
It focuses on the story of two Sudanese women from very different backgrounds 鈥� one a northerner, the other a southerner 鈥� and reveals how racism has shaped their lives.
Director Mohamed Kordofani shares with Tom Brook his mixed feelings 鈥� his elation at the film's red carpet treatment, yet concern given the conflict currently going on in Sudan.
