This Jungo Life

2024 · 78 min

A raw, intimate and quietly harrowing phone-shot portrait that immerses you in daily precarity and resilient hope.

Overview
This Jungo Life offers an intimate and raw look into the hidden lives of young refugees and asylum seekers from Sudan and South Sudan, living on the streets of Morocco. Forced to flee violence and chaos, they remain stranded, unable to return home due to the ongoing wars ravaging their countries. Filmed entirely on mobile phones, the documentary provides unprecedented access to their world, capturing the reality of their daily struggles. The resilience of the human spirit and the fierce drive for survival is underscored, as they fight to build a better future for themselves and the families they’ve left behind.
