SURVIVING SUDAN (LIVING WITH REFUGEES) is a film where award winning reporter Sorious Samura lived for four weeks with Darfur refugees.

As a director/cameraman I followed Sorious and a group of refugees from the Sudan/Chad border to the overcrowded camp of Breidjing in Chad. We had entered a world that defied common sense where a lack of proper registration procedures and bureaucracy leads to unbelievable hardship.
