Gidam : Drums of protest in Khartoum.

Gidam.
It means “all the way”. 

Throughout the film, the determination of the protesters in the streets of Khartoum is clear. 

Since the military seized power on October 25th, after arresting the prime minister and taking control of the transitional government, people have poured onto the streets in protest. 

Everyone was shocked : how could the revolution that had brought down a thirty-year dictatorship be dismissed by these men in army uniforms, many of whom were part of the former regime ? 

Something surprising one might notice while watching this 11 minutes documentary by Arthur Larie and Bastien Massa, is that women – and in particular young women – are at the forefront of this grassroots effort.
