Description

In 2019, a Sudanese team of jiu-jitsu athletes set out on an extraordinary quest: to travel by land from Sudan to Kenya, despite having no funding and limited resources, to compete in the LionHeart Nairobi Open. Together members of the Muqatel Training Center for martial arts travelled across three countries, carrying not just their hopes and dreams, but the spirit of a revolution that reshaped Sudan. Journey to Kenya is a documentary short about resilience, unity and determination — a powerful reminder that dreams can transcend borders. A film by Ibrahim “Snoopy” Ahmed, produced by In Deep Visions.
