Suzannah Mirghani on Sudanese women and her film Cotton Queen

Original: 'We don't have nearly enough films that talk about Sudanese women' - Suzannah Mirghani on culture and politics in Cotton

Filmmaker Suzannah Mirghani says there are far too few films addressing Sudanese women, in an interview discussing culture and politics in her film Cotton Queen. She speaks about the lack of representation of Sudanese women's experiences on screen and how her work tries to address that gap, drawing attention to a Cinema largely overlooked by international audiences and film industries.

Why now: The film and its themes of Sudanese women, culture and politics are drawing attention amid renewed interest in Sudanese stories.
