Documentary ‘Sudan, Remember Us' screens in Moroccan cinemas
The film, which focuses on the Sudanese revolution and the role of youth and art in resistance, is being shown in various locations including Tetouan, Rabat, Casablanca and Marrakech.
The documentary Sudan, Remember Us, directed by French journalist-turned-filmmaker Hind Meddeb, is currently screening in cinemas across Morocco until June 29, as part of a tour in collaboration with Cinémathèque de Tanger. The film recently won the TV5Monde Plus Audience Award at the 22nd African Film Festival of Tarifa-Tangier (FCAT 2025).
The film originally premiered on August 30, 2024, in the Giornate degli Autori section at the 81st Venice International Film Festival. It follows the lives of five young Sudanese revolutionaries—Shajane, Maha, Muzamil, Rufaida and Khattab—as they confront authoritarian rule through political and artistic expression. Through poems, chants, and unwavering activism, the film paints a collective portrait of a generation determined to fight for freedom in Khartoum.
The narrative traces their journey from the historic 57-day sit-in at the Army headquarters to the June 3, 2019, massacre, the 2021 military coup, and the outbreak of war that ultimately pushed them into exile. The documentary not only highlights personal and political resilience but also sheds light on the broader context of military violence in regions like Darfur, Kordofan, and Blue Nile.
Produced by Abel Nahmias of Echo Films, Michel Zana and Alice Ormières of Blue Train Films, and Tao Guiga of My Way, the France-Tunisia co-production amplifies the voices of a generation seeking justice and change, bringing their struggle to a global audience.

Adrenaline‑Fuelled Token Debuts with Rooftop Stunt
Alain Robert, the daredevil climber known as the French Spiderman, has ascended the 116‑metre Meliá Barcelona Sky Hotel without any ropes or harnesses to launch TIGERSHARK—claimed as the world's first cryptocurrency backed by real‑world extreme sports feats. Clad in Tigershark-branded gear and accompanied by his son, former French Navy marine Julien Robert, he live-streamed the stunt via X to mark what organisers call a 'Mission 1: Spiderman & Son' initiative. Organisers describe TIGERSHARK as part of an emerging 'Action Economy' in which each token is tied to real adrenaline-fuelled missions spanning big‑wave surfing, wingsuit flying, motocross and parkour. Holding the token grants access to private events, exclusive behind‑the‑scenes content and athlete 'drops' – an attempt to fuse thrill‑seeking with blockchain community building. Lilly Douse, spokesperson for Tigershark, emphasised the departure from traditional token launches: 'not airdrops, not smoke and mirrors, but actual real‑world extreme feats, true adrenaline'. She added that the venture is betting on 'guts and grits' as the currency's value proposition. ADVERTISEMENT Robert's legacy as an urban climber spans more than 150 structures, including the Burj Khalifa, Eiffel Tower and Petronas Towers, all scaled without safety gear. At his current age in the early 60s, he remains committed to pushing boundaries—and this stunt launches a broader strategy merging sport, entertainment and crypto technology. Discussions are already underway with elite athletes in other high‑risk disciplines—such as base jumping, parkour, wingsuiting and motocross—to participate in future missions. Tigershark's roadmap includes sponsorships, branded merchandise, global events and athlete plugins, positioning itself as more than a token, but a fully-fledged action-sports brand powered by cryptocurrency. The circus‑style unveiling has caught the attention of both crypto enthusiasts and adventure-sport communities. While token offerings tied to lifestyle and entertainment have a precedent, Tigershark's novel angle lies in monetising raw human risk and authenticity. Crypto commentators on social media have amplified the narrative, describing the stunt as 'the realest launch Web3 has seen' and 'the wildest crypto launch ever'. However, critics have raised concerns. The stunt's stunt‑token concept may attract speculative interest, but some analysts warn linking token value to unpredictable physical events could introduce heightened volatility. Moreover, regulatory scrutiny looms over crypto ventures that employ unconventional marketing tactics, especially those involving public stunts with safety or legality risks. Tigershark's strategic focus on live‑streamed extreme feats and token‑holder exclusives mirrors broader trends in Web3: blending content, experience and community. Yet the project must deliver consistency and transparency. Observers will scrutinise whether future missions occur as scheduled, whether token economics remain sound, and whether token-holders genuinely receive promised perks. By embedding risk and spectacle into its founding act, TIGERSHARK sets itself apart from conventional token launches. Early investor sentiment appears buoyed by novelty and potential for real‑world engagement. But delivering a sustainable 'Action Economy' will require navigating regulatory complexities and proving that this fusion of blockchain and extreme sport can transform fleeting adrenaline into long‑term value.
