May Ziadé’s latest film, Heroic Bodies screens as part of this year’s Safar Film Festival.

Heroic Bodies highlights the development of the Sudanese women’s movement within the framework of body politics. Researcher and activist Sara Suliman’s directorial debut investigates how the human body became a common refractor for both repression and resistance to the state, patriarchy and colonial oppression during the eras of British colonialism and post-independence.
