Doha: The feature-length documentary "Khartoum," directed by Ibrahim Snoubi Ahmed, Timia Mohamed, Rawya Alhaj, Philip Cox, and Anas Saeed, was screened at the Doha Film Festival 2025.

The film explores the lives and destinies of its subjects in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, during times of both peace and war. It also features glimpses into the lives of its creators, who were forced to flee to Kenya.

Their escape was later depicted using green screens, animation, and archival footage.

The filmmakers noted the positive reception the screening received and the sense of unity and solidarity it evoked among the Sudanese community and film enthusiasts.

Co-director Rawya Alhaj expressed her pride in the audience's reaction, emphasizing that despite the devastating impact of war, the Sudanese people remained united and resilient.
