Event Summary
A fundraiser film screening of SIT-IN(2021) to raise emergency funds for frontline relief efforts
Event Details
Join Free Them All Films for a film screening of Sit-In (2021): a film about the Sudanese people’s struggle against their government’s many attempts at violently thwarting liberation efforts.
In December 2018, the Sudanese people took to the streets in wide protests and demonstrations against the oppressive al-Bashir regime. On April 6th 2019, the protestors staged a sit-in in front of the Sudanese army headquarters in Khartoum that was met with excessive force by militarized troops. On April 11 of 2019, just days later, al-Bashir was forced by army commanders to step down as President. It is estimated that over 100 people were killed since the beginning of the protests, as well as hundreds injured and arrested.
This is a fundraiser to raise emergency funds for the Sudan Solidarity Fund, providing urgent-lifesaving commmunity needs. The Sudanese people are facing catastrophic famine, the most extreme displacement crisis in the world, and an ongoing genocide.
