Movie Night For Sudan

Attend CODEPINK Chicago's screening of the groundbreaking film "Cotton Queen" by Sudanese filmmaker Suzannah Mirghani. 100% of ticket proceeds go to SAPA's critical relief work in Sudan. We hope you will join us for a night of artistic expression, community, and solidarity!

"In a cotton-farming village in Sudan, teenage Nafisa is raised on heroic tales of battling British colonizers 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."

100% of ticket proceeds go to the Sudanese Americans Physician Association. Since 2019, SAPA has expanded critical healthcare access across Sudan, providing meals, water, and medical care to Sudan's most vulnerable. In addition to their humanitarian work, SAPA's live documentation of the systematic destruction of healthcare infrastructure systems across Sudan have been an absolutely vital effort in the urgent demand for accountability, justice, and an end to the genocide.
