Reception

Marc van de Klashorst of the International Cinephile Society gave the film four stars out of five and wrote, "As a portrayal of the voices of a revolution against the fire of oppressing forces, and a chronicle of tenacious young people steadfast in their striving for a better life, Sudan, Remember Us is a powerful document that starts and ends in fittingly poetic ways, but takes on a journalistic approach in documenting struggle."^[10]

Murtada Elfadl of Variety wrote, "...[A]t a time when [the Sudanese people's] homeland is being torn by war, famine and the displacement of millions, here comes a portrait of a better time not far in the past. It could be taken as a harbinger for the future, something to hold onto until this calamity passes.".^[11]
