Synopsis

Shajane, Maha, Muzamil, Khatab and the voice of the poet Chaikhoon are politically active and artistically creative. This film is the collective portrait of a generation fighting for freedom with words, poems and chants. Faced with a corrupted army responsible for war crimes in Darfur, Kordofan and Blue Nile, they could have lost heart. Without the dream guiding them, the power of imagination and the might of poetic discourse, they would not have overthrown the former regime. The film relates the uneven struggle that pitted the voices of the revolution against the fire of the militia.
