My First Days in Sudan During the Revolution. Solo Motorcycle Ride. EP 50
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This episode follows onherbike’s first days in Sudan during a solo motorcycle journey around the world. Its travel story unfolds as the country enters a period of political upheaval.
About this film
Part of the Africa, Round The World series, the film sits within a journey that began in Australia in April 2017 on a BMW F800GS. The rider describes arriving in Sudan amid months of protests against the government, followed by the army’s removal of the president. The resulting uncertainty forms the backdrop to this account of the opening days in the country, and to the decision to continue with the planned visit. The episode is a travel diary shaped both by the road and by the events taking place around it.
The journey
After crossing into Sudan, the rider found herself amid a rapidly changing situation, with people confused about what would follow. She chose to remain in the country for a month, intending to experience Sudan and witness the period firsthand. This instalment covers only the first few days of that stay, with attention also given to an early encounter with Sudanese culture. The journey is therefore not presented simply as a passage through a new country: its first stretch in Sudan is closely bound to the uncertainty of the moment.
What to expect
- A solo motorcycle journey continuing into Sudan
