Goodbye Julia: Sudan Fundraiser (18)

Goodbye Julia: Sudan Fundraiser

From executive producer Lupita Nyong’o, Goodbye Julia tells the story of Mona (Eiman Yousif) and her maid Julia (Siran Rick). As political tensions mount in Khartoum, Julia finds herself torn between the truth of what happened to her missing husband, the possibility of new love with activist Majier and how she can care for her son.  


Set around South Sudan’s succession from Sudan in 2011, Goodbye Julia tells a neglected but crucial historical story in exceptionally personal terms. Poignant, tender and beautifully shot, it is part of a wave of excellent films from Sudan including Talking About Trees and You Will Die at Twenty.


Goodbye Julia world premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard, where it was the first Sudanese director and film to participate in the history of the festival. It went on to win the festival’s Freedom Prize and was later Sudan’s official submission to the Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film.


Proceeds from this screening will be shared with Hadhreen, a grassroots charity in Sudan offering community kitchens to Sudan's displaced people, facing humanitarian crisis.
