Festival history
It's a story that reveals our complicated Sudan and it's multi layer depth; where social, political and economical situation affect even Football! Through a journey in rural Khartoum, we are questioning the magical reality of those young women;
What are the limits after Separation in Sudan if -the captain of the football team- has to survive with her Southern/ Northerner family? Can continue her struggle even without a job and all her family was displaced from Darfur? And is working in two jobs just to be able to play football. What’s the real cost of being a young woman playing football in Sudan? And does it have any joy? Is there any hope out of the blue?
