Sudanese Director’s Cannes Debut ‘Bittersweet’

For Mohamed Kordofani, being at the Cannes Film Festival is bittersweet: his film, the first Sudanese film to be included in the festival's official selection, premiered as weeks of fighting in Sudan has driven nearly 1.1 million people from their homes. The film, "Goodbye Julia," also mirrors reality looking at the effect South Sudan's split from Sudan in 2011 has had on people's lives through two women, Mona and Julia.
