Gidam, Drums of Protest in Khartoum

Overview

Gidam (‘all the way’) follows a young woman who, like many other Sudanese, takes to the streets to demand the departure of the military government. The protagonist (remaining nameless for security reasons) takes to the streets, animating the protests with the revolutionary power of her djembe. Through her music she feels the spiritual power of the beat and the intimate connection with protestors.
