One organization called "Yalla Khartoum" strives to counteract by creating safe spaces for young artists to experiment in. This short documentary was shot during one of their workshops.

A retired singer from northern Sudan, Mona, burdened by guilt for covering up a man's death, hires his southern widow, Julia, as her maid. Unable to confess her role in the tragedy, she hopes to move forward, but the country's growing unrest threatens to reveal her secret.
