Description

Films Changing the World: Must-see docs exploring new issues and transforming the way we see the world.

Academy Award®-nominated director Hubert Sauper’s We Come As Friends is a modern odyssey, a dizzying, science fiction-like journey into the heart of Africa. At the moment when the Sudan is being divided into two nations, colonialism and new episodes of bloody (and holy) wars over land and resources re-emerge. The director of Darwin's Nightmare takes us on a voyage in his tiny, self-made, tin and canvas flying machine, leading us into most improbable locations and into people’s thoughts and dreams, in both stunning and heartbreaking ways.

In English, Chinese and Arabic, with English subtitles.

Director Hubert Sauper will participate in post-screening Q&As.
