How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A poetic meditation on cultural erasure and displacement told through Nubian storytelling, layering ancestral knowledge against the material violence of dam construction. It moves like myth rather than argument, honoring what persists despite catastrophic rupture.
