Sudan's Documentary Wins People's Award in Canada
The documentary film, Beats of the Antonov, has won the People's Choice Documentary Award at the 39th International Film Festival of Toronto in Canada. The film follows refugees from the Blue Nile and Nuba Mountains in Sudan as they use music as a way to survive the displacement and trauma of civil war.
After a raid, it is not unusual to hear laughter and music ring out from these communities — not just out of relief that lives have been spared, but also as a means of safeguarding the community's collective memory.
