Songs of Solidarity (SoS), in collaboration with Sudan Advocacy Network Aotearoa (SANA) and African Diaspora for Indigenous Rights in Aotearoa (ADIR), invite you to the Pōneke screening of Khartoum. This screening is one of the mutual aid fundraising events forming part of the exhibition Sudan, Do You Still Dream?, led by SANA and supported by SoS and ADIR. This screening and exhibition is one of the many solidarity events at the Songs of Solidarity Festival 2026 — Anthems of Resistance.

About the film

Khartoum is about the 'Five lives, one city, a nation at war. A civil servant, a tea lady, a resistance committee volunteer and two street boys. Five stories from Sudan weave together in search of freedom through animated dreams, street revolutions and a war from the metropolis of Khartoum to escape in East Africa.'

The film will be introduced by SANA whānau, with a brief introduction to the exhibition, the ongoing war in Sudan, and ways to be part of the solidarity movement. Koha from this screening will go to a collective or organisation selected by SANA.

Sudan Advocacy Network Aotearoa (SANA) is a Sudanese-led organisation advancing human rights, civilian protection and solidarity with Sudan. Its creative, youth and community engagement platform, Do You Still Dream? (DYSD), amplifies Sudanese voices through arts, storytelling and public dialogue. DYSD’s initiatives include the Sudan: Do You Still Dream? exhibition.
