"A gut-wrenching and emotionally rewarding tale of religious persecution compounded by entrenched racism, Goodbye Julia may be set in Sudan between 2005 and 2010 but feels deeply pertinent and, unfortunately, timeless." - Lisa Nesselson, Screen International
"Kordofani’s intelligent, compassionate scripting ensures that the political never overwhelms the personal. Yet it also illuminates just how well the fault lines that divide a nation can map onto the rifts within a human heart divided against itself." - Jessica Kiang, Variety
Mona’s life - wealthy, Muslim, cosseted - is very different to Julia’s - poor, Christian, tough. A few years prior to the south of Sudan’s separation, the capital Khartoum was segregated by mutual distrust. Mona accidentally knocks down Julia’s young son and, instead of owning up, she drives off and is pursued by Julia’s husband Akram, who is now in danger. A story that begins as high-stakes drama morphs into something surprising, gentle and revelatory. Friendship holds these women together, but a secret pushes them apart. This hot debut feature was the first ever film from Sudan to screen in Official Selection at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
