While the world has its eyes on the Ukraine and Palestine wars, another war has been raging: Sudan is currently suffering the worst humanitarian crisis of recent times. But browse the news headlines on an average day, and you won’t find anything about Sudan.

Why? This war happens to be in a part of the world that very few care about and has been struggling with its identity. My new documentary tries to showcase Sudan's beauty and potential and hopefully get you to care and talk about what has been happening.

You can also directly help as a viewer by sharing this video, speaking about Sudan, writing to your MPs and pressuring them to intervene in stopping the war, supporting the businesses of any Sudanese person in your city, and donating to any of the following trusted NGOs:

HomeTax Sudan was established during the 2019 Sudanese uprising. It focuses on providing food, shelter, and medical aid to people displaced by violence and unrest.

The nonprofit, with 501(c)(3) status, advocates for civilian protection, crime accountability, and lasting crisis resolution in Darfur. It focuses on maintaining global attention on Darfur, educating children in camps, and providing skills training and support for women survivors.

SAPA responds to growing needs by offering on-the-ground support and raising funds to improve humanitarian and medical aid for those fleeing and distressed.

The Humanitarian Aid Commission launched a Registered Emergency fundraiser to provide internally displaced persons food, water, and shelter. It is active in areas from Al-Jazeera State to Sennar State.

Big thanks to my Sudanese friends for sharing their stories and hosting us in Khartoum:
