“The fight for freedom”
The Nuba have been subjected to unbelievable atrocities for more than 20 year. It’s hard to imagine that this conflict with over 2 million deaths has found so little attention in our media. We have the chance to help a nation to reestablish their honor, their hope and their future.
SLAVE:
A QUESTION OF FREEDOM
“Slave: A Question of Freedom” is an extraordinary, award-winning play. It tells the inspiring story of Mende Nazer and was adapted by Caroline Clegg and Kevin Fegan from the autobiography of Mende Nazer and Damien Lewis and directed by Caroline Clegg. Set in the Nuba Mountains in Sudan and London, the story of her happy childhood and subsequent enslavement is told by an outstanding ensemble of eight actors and musicians as a celebration of storytelling, music and dance. The play celebrates Mende’s indomitable spirit, the beauty of the ancient Nuba culture and exposes the inhumanity and horror of human trafficking and modern slavery.
Mende’s story transcends borders, and her voice challenges us to reflect on the nature of freedom and question why fifty million people around the world are enslaved today.
The play will be performed in the UK from October 2024 as part of Feelgood Theatre’s Lowry & National Tour.

WATER & EDUCATION:
Access to clean water is a basic human need and right. It’s hard for most of us to imagine that clean, safe water is not something that can be taken for granted. But, in the Nuba Mountains the war has made water scarce, unsafe and inaccessible in places.
Mende has stated “To give a child an education is essential and very important for me. It gives children hope and they will live a better life. My schooling was cut short in the Nuba Mountains so I painfully understand the value of education and how important it is for development. I believe every child deserves to be educated.”
