In media class today we looked at some footage of Sudan. For homework we are asked to find video's of Sudan and their culture, Heritage and Things about Sudan.
My first video is about the way that Sudanese women dress and how it affects their lives. They dress in lightweight cloth-like dresses. Its very important that they wear this because its part of their culture, If they do not wear this than they could be shot. "A women in the street cant go out without covering her face" This was when they had a mask piece covering their nose and mouth. Later on they women protested against the british colony and won. The mouth pieces where gone. After awhile colours changed it became more colourful and bright. As it says in the video "its is almost like a canvas covering the womens body" This shows they can decorate the outfit how they want. Young Sudanese women are starting to not wear these outfits anymore but some girls say that "it will stay with them forever, thats how they know that they are sudanese"
