Overland Solo Ride through Sudan During the Revolution – EP. 51
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
A solo motorcycle journey through Sudan unfolds against the uncertainty of the ongoing revolution. On the ride towards Khartoum, fuel shortages shape the route and schedule, while the Karima Pyramids provide a notable stop along the way.
About this film
This is the second film from Sudan in a round-the-world journey that began in Australia in April 2017. The rider travels solo on a BMW F800GS, with the journey’s destination and duration left open. Here, the focus is on the experience of travelling through a country in an unsettled period: unfamiliar surroundings, changing practical demands and the effort of making progress towards the capital. The film belongs to the Africa, Round The World series.
The journey
The ride heads towards Khartoum, with fuel availability influencing both where to travel and how to plan the schedule. That constraint becomes part of the journey rather than a separate technical story, shaping the decisions involved in moving across Sudan. Along the way, the Karima Pyramids stand out as an attraction visited on the route. The account brings together the practical realities of solo overland travel and the rider’s attempt to take in a new country amid the uncertainty of the revolution.
