Synopsis
Kauniaro is an island of love amid the world’s worst humanitarian disaster. Photographed by Leni Riefenstahl in Kau, Sudan, 50 years ago, the Nuba were on the brink of destruction when Tomo Križnar revisited them in 1998. The film explores the culture that helped them survive a genocide, the pioneers who first documented it, and the influence of the West.
