In a surreal journey through a forest, an artist disconnected from his Sudanese roots grapples with the horrors of war and his fragmented identity, conveying a message of unity and despair to his scattered people. Set against the backdrop of a forest, an artist clad in traditional "Aragy" attire navigates the chaos of his inner world and the war-torn reality of Sudan. As a member of the Sudanese diaspora, he mentally escapes the brutal truths of his homeland's conflict. Through a series of visually striking and symbolic scenes, he expresses his inner turmoil and the profound impacts of war on all Sudanese people, regardless of their ethnicities and affiliations.

In a cotton-farming village in Sudan, 15-year-old Nafisa has a crush on Babiker, but her parents have arranged her marriage to Nadir, a young Sudanese businessman living abroad.

In a world where silence speaks louder than words, Randa, a deaf mother, begins her inspiring journey that goes beyond the boundaries of spoken language. The film “I Am Here” takes us on a touching story about Randa’s struggle, as she seeks to build a brighter future for her children and the families of displaced deaf individuals. This is not just an individual struggle, but an extension of struggles that began in the 1970s, when deaf and hard of hearing individuals fought for their rights.
