Cotton Queen - CAFF 2026

Sudan

Arabic with English subtitles

In a cotton-farming village in Sudan, teenage Nafisa is

raised on heroic tales of battling British colonisers told by her

grandmother, the village matriarch Al-Sit. But when a young

businessman arrives from abroad with a new development

plan and genetically engineered cotton, Nafisa becomes the

center of a power play to determine the future of the village.

Awakening to her own strength, Nafisa sets out to save the

cotton fields – and herself. Neither she nor her community

will ever be the same again
