Learning on ScreenNuba Wrestling
- Synopsis
- Looks at the weekly wrestling tournaments of the Sudanese Nuba migrants in Khartoum. Usually these take place between the northern and southern Nuba men. The sport helps them strengthen their ethnic identity in a hostile urban environment. Nuba wrestling has developed into a unique mixture of traditional culture and modern sport. The film also illustrates the lives of some of the wrestlers who live in the shanty town.
