The documentary *Khartoum* exhibits a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion by intentionally centering the experiences of diverse Sudanese individuals across multiple ethnicities, genders, generations, and social classes. Its collaborative filmmaking approach empowers subjects, and the narrative amplifies marginalized voices, critiques societal imbalances, and highlights themes of civil rights and resilience in a male-dominated conflict.
