Cotton Queen
About the event
In a cotton-farming village in Sudan, teenage Nafisa is raised on heroic tales of battling British colonisers told to her by Al-Sit, her grandmother and the village matriarch. 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. Screen: NFT3. Screening details: English language subtitles.
