Season 14 of AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange closes tonight with Revolution from Afar. Bentley Brown’s portrait of the lives of young Sudanese Americans examining their place in the world and their bicultural identities as their familial homeland struggles through a revolution will have its television broadcast premiere on Monday at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) on WORLD Channel. The documentary, along with the other films of the new season of AfroPoP, is also now available to stream on worldchannel.org and PBS.org and other popular streaming platforms. Revolution from Afar and the rest of the season 14 AfroPoP documentaries continue the series’ mission to present contemporary stories demonstrating that, in every corner of the globe, #BlackStoriesMatter. AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange is presented and executive produced by Black Public Media (BPM) and WORLD Channel and is co-presented and distributed nationally by American Public Television (APT).

Following artists in Brooklyn and Denver, Revolution from Afar tells the stories of these young Americans through intimate conversations and performances as they grapple with questions of identity, culture and connection in the wake of the 2019 revolution in Sudan, which saw the downfall of longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir and the rise of a military government. Though many have never visited the land their families fled years before, through music, poetry and even stand-up comedy, these Sudanese American performers reflect on their ties to their ancestral land. Discussions related to the revolution in Sudan unearth long-standing questions on the dualities in their lives — which some have often sought to push aside. Are they American or Sudanese? Black or Arabic? A universal story of belonging and identity, Revolution from Afar is also a portrait of youth using modern technology and art to amplify voices silenced an ocean away.

“With its poetic presentation of activism through art, Revolution from Afar is a wonderful cap to a season that spotlighted stories of advocacy and artistry from across the African diaspora,” said Leslie Fields-Cruz, AfroPoP executive producer.

Other episodes this season include Everything: The Real Thing Story by Simon Sheridan, She Had a Dream from Raja Amari, Downstream to Kinshasa by Dieudo Hamadi and Restitution? Africa’s Fight for Its Art by Nora Philippe. All films are now streaming on worldchannel.org and on all station-branded PBS platforms, including PBS.org and the PBS Video app. The films will also be available to stream on WORLD’s YouTube Channel. On Sunday, APT released the current season of AfroPoP to public television stations nationwide.
