FILM
On Her Bike in Khartoum, Sudan – EP. 53
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This episode follows the final days of a solo motorcycle journey through Sudan, with Khartoum as its focus. City life and protest footage sit alongside a glimpse of the distinctive border crossing into Ethiopia.
About this film
Recorded in March 2019, the film is part of an ongoing round-the-world journey that began in Australia in April 2017. The rider set out on a BMW F800GS without a fixed final destination or planned duration, and the series traces that open-ended expedition. In this instalment, the focus shifts from the wider ride to a stay in Sudan’s capital and the events unfolding around the rider’s camping ground. The journey also carried a fundraising effort for a child in Poland who needs ongoing rehabilitation.
The journey
The rider spent her last few days in Sudan in Khartoum, camping in the centre of the city near the army headquarters. The area became a focal point of the revolution, and protests were part of daily life during her stay. The episode shares footage of those demonstrations as part of its account of being in the city at that time. It also turns to the border crossing into Ethiopia, offering a view of this distinctive passage as the motorcycle journey continues beyond Sudan.
