Kafi's Story is an ethnographic film about life of Nuba ethnic people in Sudan, directed by Amy Hardie and Arthur Howes.

Synopsis

Shot between 1986 and 1988, Kafi's Story captures scenes from the life of Nuba peoples just before they were involved in the Second Sudanese Civil War.

Kafi, a young man from the Torogi village in the Nuba Mountains in Sudan, is one of the first men to travel north to the capital Khartoum in search of money. Having money is the only way for him to get a dress and to marry a second wife, Tete.

Ten years after this film, Arthur Howes went back to Sudan to shoot the documentary Nuba Conversations, where he wanted to capture the life of Nuba peoples during the war.
