You Will Die at Twenty

Sudanese film-maker Amjad Abu Alala's radiant drama dares to wonder if death could inspire courage rather than fear.

Its quiet profundity strikes you hours, days after viewing.

[A] gentle, affecting Sudanese drama...

You Will Die at Twenty is a quietly stirring, hard-hitting look at a boy’s dour predicted fate, how that affects his life, and how such a prediction can do more damage than an actual early death itself.
