Activist - Rudwan Dawod and Widad Derwish
Thousands of young Sudanese are demanding an end to the violent rule of Omar al-Bashir, the president of Sudan. Two courageous individuals, Rudwan and Widad, members of Girifna, the pro-democratic youth movement that spans Sudan and South Sudan, are fighting for basic human rights. Through their friendship, we glimpse a world of grass roots, daring activism that is challenging one of the world's most brutal regimes. Rudwan and Widad are two of hundreds of young Sudanese who make up Girifna, meaning 'we are fed up', which was originally founded to challenge electoral corruption but which must now fight extreme circumstances - conflict, genocide, arrest, torture and the partition of their country.
