aKasha/Hajooj Kuka

The first Sudanese film in this series! In this quirky comedy, Adnan, a Sudanese rebel and war hero is in love: His passion for his AK-47 is equaled only by that for his long-suffering girlfriend, Lina. When he’s late reporting back to his military unit after a leave, his commander launches a kasha — a round-up and arrest of all truant soldiers--spurring Adnan and his unlikely pacifist friend, Absi, to make a run for it on a wry and humorous 24-hour wild-goose chase that reveals life and ideology in rebel-held areas of Sudan. One reviewer says it may be “the first Sudanese stoner comedy ever.”
