An unforgettable journey into a world few Westerners will ever see, Sudan's Secret Side goes undercover inside a Sudanese refugee camp, exploring the thriving camp economy that exists just below the surface—bakers, barbers, tanners, the local grain-milling mafia, and the women who brew illegal beer for a willing male clientele. This eye-opening documentary also reveals the camp's medieval medical practices—from bleeding to burning—and discovers a butcher who moonlights as the camp surgeon. Sudan's Secret Side shows how the refugees have created their own village life inside a camp outside of their home country.
