Sudan's civil war ran longer than any other conflict in African history, stretching from the 1980s until a peace agreement finally closed it in the early 2000s. This film traces how colonial-era borders, religious divisions between the Muslim north and the largely Christian and animist south, and the discovery of oil wealth kept reigniting a fight that outlasted governments and generations. Dr. Hassan al-Turabi, the Islamist ideologue who shaped much of Sudan's political direction, appears on camera to explain the calculations behind the north's strategy and the religious framing used to justify it. The film moves through the major turning points, from the rebellion's roots under British and Egyptian colonial administration to the oil discoveries that gave both sides new reasons to keep fighting, and finally to the negotiations that produced the peace treaty. It is a straightforward historical account of how a single war absorbed decades of Sudanese politics before finally ending.
