The Dam

FromAli Cherri

Year2022

Duration80min.

In the north of Sudan, on the banks of the Nile, silent workers in the shadow of the Merowe Dam earn their living with hard seasonal work in a brickworks. The news of the mass protests in Khartoum only reaches them in passing. But one of the workers feels a strange desire. He hears voices and has disturbing dreams. Secretly, he builds something out of mud in the desert that can only be guessed at for a long time, but can hardly be named. The film's cleverly crafted images initially convey the monotonous calm of everyday working life, but then turn into a beacon of radical resistance.
