This urgent shorts block brings together powerful testimonies from across the globe, where personal memory, political struggle and creative defiance intersect. The Other Side of Beauty (Dir. Sami Saif Sirelkhatim | 11 min) follows a Sudanese photographer exposing the horrors of Darfur; Dreams of a Revolution (Dir. Pedro Neves | 14 min) reflects on Mozambique’s unfinished journey to liberation; The Medallion (Dir. Ruth Hunduma | 19 min) offers a moving mother-daughter dialogue on Ethiopia’s Red Terror; and Ahmad Alive (Dir. Yusuf Omar & Aurelia Driver | 21 min) captures the frontline realities of life in Gaza through the eyes of a young vlogger. Together, these films reveal the human cost of state violence—and the courage it takes to resist it.
