We Come as Friends - film over Soedan
Documentaire over de gevolgen van modern kolonialisme in Zuid-Soedan, waar Amerikanen en Chinezen het land exploiteren. Terwijl het kersverse land zich langzaam maar zeker in een oorlog begeeft, zoekt een stoet buitenlandse investeerders naar mogelijkheden om het grondgebied te exploiteren, onder het mom van het brengen van beschaving. Vlak voordat Soedan in 2011 in twee delen uiteenvalt, arriveert in wat haast een speelgoedvliegtuigje lijkt de Franse filmmaker Hubert Sauper (Darwin’s Nightmare) op een militair vliegveld in Soedan. Hij is op zoek naar verhalen in dit door oorlog en neokolonialisme verscheurde land, en verhalen vindt hij.
