In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast,  we have a 2-part episode about all things Sundance 2025.

Segment 1: We chat with directors: Anas Saeed, Rawia Alhag, Ibrahim Snoopy and Timeea M. Ahmed about their documentary film Khartoum that screened at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. Forced to leave Sudan for East Africa following the outbreak of war, five citizens of Khartoum — a civil servant, a tea lady, a resistance committee volunteer, and two young bottle collectors — reenact their stories of survival and freedom through dreams, revolution, and civil war.

Segment 2: Travis Hopson, of Punch Drunk Critics, joins us to chat about the films we loved and didn't love at Sundance 2025. This was recorded during the middle of festival, so not all films were screened at the time of the discussion.
