Four retired Sudanese filmmakers attempt to restore Sudanese cinema and reopen an abandoned movie theater in Khartoum, which has fallen into disrepair amid decades of censorship, oppression, and negligent bureaucracy. In the attempt to bring the theater back, the men are also able to address political issues and other matters that are usually censored.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The Hollywood Reporter by Jordan Mintzer
A quiet and contemplative look at artists forced to face the reality that their work can no longer exist where they live.

An honest, inspiring achievement.
The New Yorker by Richard Brody
