About Love & September Laws

English. Directed by Mohamed Kordofani.

In 1983, Black journalist Carter arrives in Khartoum on a mission to revive a struggling newspaper. There, he reunites with Nouri, an old friend he hasn’t seen in 10 years, now an idealistic doctor who serves as an ideological counterpoint to the jaded reporter. Things grow complicated when Carter falls for Fatin, his newly hired translator, unaware that she is Nouri’s ex-wife. The fragile romance collides with the sudden weight of politics when Sharia law is imposed across Sudan, and Nouri finds himself facing the death sentence when he refuses a court order to amputate a thief’s hand.
