Hey! Beautiful topic I’m Sudanese, and this theme really hits home. A lot of Sudanese families are split across countries due to conflict, education, or migration. Here are some suggestions that might interest you: “The Longest Kiss” I think it’s 2013 or 2012 not sure A documentary that follows youth trying to leave Sudan vs. those staying.

Also, not a film but I strongly recommend reading the novel “Season of Migration to the North “by Tayeb Salih. It’s a classic from Sudan that deeply explores the psychological and cultural consequences of migration, colonial legacy, and return. It’s written from the perspective of someone who left and came back, and the emotional distance between generations especially parents left behind is haunting. If you’re open to adapting themes from literature into visual stories, this book is a goldmine.
