In The Station, Mahdi captures encounters at a large crossroads in the desert between Khartoum and Port Sudan. In this observational work, Mahdi creates a striking contrast between foreign interests and the economic struggles of the Sudanese people. At this dusty intersection, people cross the desert on foot while trucks carrying resources roar past. The film presents a stream of consciousness in images, showing how the welfare of Sudanese people is overlooked in favour of economic advancement.
