You Will Die at Twenty is a 2019 Sudanese drama film directed by Amjad Abu Alala. Selected as the Sudanese entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Awards, it was not nominated. It was the first film from Sudan ever to have been submitted for an Oscar competition.

Background

Since few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.
