Abstract

South Sudan, the most recent country on the map, has been in an almost constant state of war since it became independent. After being forced into exile in 2005, Akuol de Mabior returns to her country armed with her camera to follow her mother, Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior, otherwise known as the ‘Mother of South Sudan’, as she follows in her husband’s footsteps to become the country’s Vice President. In the feature-length documentary NO SIMPLE WAY HOME, the director traces the political history of her country through her family’s history and questions her identity and role as a South Sudanese woman.
