Sudan Coverage | DNR

Finalist in News & Media

Objective

Presented by Al Jazeera's Digital Newsroom, "From Sudan" is a fascinating and captivating series that gives viewers a perceptive look into the realities of life in Sudan during war. With an impressive 8.96 million views and total of Interactions 274 262k on Al Jazeera Sudan social media channels, the series successfully draws in viewers from around the world while highlighting the hardships and tenacity of the Sudanese people. In the middle of battle and conflict.

Strategy

Each episode of "From Sudan" tells a different story through five different forms, from painful personal tales to personal reports of the ongoing battles between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, as well as messages of support and pain. Given the difficulty of getting high-quality filming equipment during a conflict, the series employs powerful narration and production quality that may be both high and simple at times. Nonetheless, we want to present the most accurate picture of their difficulties and their resilience.

Since it has been challenging to document human stories due to the continuous crisis in Sudan, news producers and journalists working in the digital newsroom have been attempting to follow individuals, document their stories, and relate to their appeals and hardships. Al Jazeera's crew has been able to represent people and expose the terrible reality they confront since they lack platforms to document their suffering because of a shortage of journalists, internet, and production equipment.
