Welcome Here teams up again with the Big Picture Festival. This film was chosen on the suggestion of refugees from Sudan currently living in Stratford.
Big Picture Film Festival programme announcement: You Will Die at Twenty
A hauntingly beautiful coming-of-age story from Sudan, You Will Die at Twenty follows Muzamil, whose life is shaped by a prophecy that he will die on his twentieth birthday. As that day draws near, he faces a life-changing choice: accept his fate, or dare to live.
Acclaimed around the world, the film was Sudan's first-ever Academy Awards submission and earned director Amjad Abu Alala the Lion of the Future Award for Best Debut Film at the Venice Film Festival.
Presented in partnership with Stratford Welcome Here, this special screening aims to amplify Sudanese voices, foster understanding of Sudanese migrant communities and shine a light on the ongoing humanitarian crisis and displacement caused by the "forgotten war" in Sudan.
Join us for a special screening of this unforgettable and powerful film at:
