On 8 November 2023, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) massacred between 800 and 2,000 in Ardamata, West Darfur. They filmed themselves rounding up and executing people. Everything in this film is grounded in that real raw footage and real testimony.
KHARTOUM NOVEMBER 19: The UN has described it as “unspeakable suffering” – after Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces violently overran North Darfur’s capital, El-Fasher. They filmed themselves rounding up and executing people. If those horrors came as a surprise – they shouldn’t have.
Two years ago the RSF was accused of committing similar atrocities in the town of Ardamata, also while filming themselves.
Filmmaker Sara Creta gained rare access to the town, and spent months tracking down and recording the testimony of survivors who managed to flee. She then matched their accounts with the RSF videos. Much of the material is extremely graphic, far too horrific to broadcast.
Everything in this film is grounded in that real raw footage and real testimony, and we have worked with u2p050 studio to construct the events of that day, using an AI assisted 3D process. It brings to life the memories of those who survived and those who did not.
