THE WAITING ROOM

In production l Documentary l Feature film l HD

At a historical crossroad, Sudan is about to split in two. A referendum on self-determination in early 2011 will likely separate the Muslim North and the Christian South into two countries. Yet the current country’s capital, Khartoum, is a haven of peace where Sudanese from different regions, ethnicity and religion coexist. Youth from diverse backgrounds are all waiting each in their own way to build Sudan. But their country is a ticking bomb. The film follows young people whom all live in Khartoum, and are each confronted with a unique quest. Their journeys take us between North and South Sudan, and show us how they are each trying to rebuild their country.
