Cotton Queen (15)
In a remote cotton-farming village in Sudan, teenager Nafisa has grown up listening to her grandmother’s stories of resistance and resilience. Life follows the rhythm of the cotton harvest until the arrival of a handsome businessman from abroad, whose plans for modernisation threaten the future of the community and its traditions. Shot in Egypt with Sudanese refugees after war forced the production out of Sudan in 2023, Cotton Queen is the first Sudanese feature directed by a woman.
