Hind Meddeb grew up in France, Morocco, and Tunisia and developed her outlook on the world through her experience of moving among diverse cultures and languages. Throughout her career, Meddeb's documentaries Electro Chaabi (2013), Tunisia Clash (2015), and Paris Stalingrad (2019) have garnered critical acclaim, won numerous awards, and been selected for prestigious film festivals including the BFI London International Film Festival, the Göteborg International Film Festival, CPH:DOX and the Toronto International Film Festival. Her work has been broadcast on channels including Arte France, Planète TV, RTS (Switzerland), RTP (Portugal), Al Jazeera, and France 2, among others.
During the tumultuous years that led up to the 2019 military coup d’état in Sudan, a power struggle erupted between the army and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces, whose drive to seize the nation’s wealth forced millions of people into exile. In this context, dreaming of a new, democratic Sudan, Sudanese youth risked everything to overthrow the country’s military regime through impassioned revolution. Shajane, Maha, and Muzamil, like so many young activists, fight for freedom through their words, poems, chants, and artistic creativity.
