Sudanese film Cotton Queen confronts colonial past
Original: Cotton Queen: Sudan’s colonial past meets its cinematic future
Sudan is drawing attention with Cotton Queen, a film that revisits the country's colonial-era cotton industry and connects that history to its emerging cinema scene. The project is being framed as a milestone for Sudanese filmmaking, using the memory of British colonial cotton schemes to tell a story rooted in the nation's past while pointing toward its cultural future.
Why now: Sudanese cinema is gaining international visibility and the film links a painful colonial history with a growing national film industry.
