Filmabend: Sudan - Ein Krankenhaus im Schatten des Krieges

In the organizer's words:

Since April 2023, Sudan has once again been engulfed in civil war - millions of people are suffering from hunger, violence and displacement. The documentary Sudan - A hospital in the shadow of war follows surgeon Joseph Yacoub in the remote Nuba Mountains. There, he and his team have been providing medical care in a Cap Anamur-run hospital for almost 30 years - despite overwork, shortages and the constant threat of being close to the front. The film shows the tireless commitment to patients and the hope of a new generation of doctors.

Afterwards, we cordially invite you to a film discussion with journalist Arne Perras, filmmakers Laura Salm-Reifferscheidt and Carl Gierstorfer and Bernd Göken, Managing Director Cap Anamur + Project Coordinator Sudan.

For better planning, please register in advance. Admission to the event is free. However, we would appreciate a donation for our work.

Sudan: A hospital in the shadow of war. A film by Carl Gierstorfer and Laura Salm-Reifferscheidt. A production of DOCDAYS in co-production with ZDF and Deutsche Welle in cooperation with ARTE.
