Her film, PARIS STALINGRAD was selected in numerous festivals including Cinéma du Réel, TIFF, PSIFF, CPH:DOX. It was theatrically released in France in May 2021.

Ahmed Muzamil is one of the activists in Sudan Remember Us. He is part of the movement against the regime of Sudan. The young activists come together and make art as way of protest. When the uprising is violently beaten down, many of their friends are murdered by the military. Muzamil immortalizes them in his murals.
