Sudan: Dinka
SOUNDS OF GLOBAL WORSHIP:
SUDAN, DINKA
The US government has called the people of Southern Sudan the most persecuted people in the entire world.
Although a connection with the Dinka tribal people was not a part of Heart Sound's scheduled Sudan recording project, we were thrilled and honored that in the last days that we heard of this Dinka choir in the city. As you can see, they were not the least bit distracted that we were present with microphones, cables and cameras. Nor were they focused on the discomfort of the very hot make-shift studio.
Their pain and suffering had developed in them a hunger for worship, which had become their very life source, their food of survival. A gift is found in the impoverished and oppressed peoples of the world.
They may be last in the kingdoms of this world, but we are increasingly aware that they are the first in another.

The Magic of the Dinka
The Dinka
The Magic of the Dinka short documentary is a film of approximately 12 minutes. We intend to change the script into a first person narration and use a young Sudanese woman to read the narration. It is essential that everything in this film is 100% true including the accent of the narrator and the original Sudanese soundtrack.
Amongst the Dinka's, which is the largest tribe in Africa, we find two young people. A young man called Kadi and a girl called Nyankor. Kadi wants to buy Nyankor so she can be his first wife. But marriage in the Dinka world is expensive and complicated. The Dinka's are selling their daughters getting cows as payment. The women in South Sudan are the most expensive in the world. A girl can be sold for over 100 cows, each cow worth over $400, with the Sudanese average income of less than $2 per day. Women are an expensive and cherished commodity. But some Dinka's have over 100 wives. Each wife's has her own house, land and animals spread over a large area, her husband spends his life walking from one wife's homes to another in order to produce as many children, especially as many girls as possible.
For months are bride to be Nyankor's family has been traveling from one cattle camp to another to negotiate the largest number of cows possible. Cows are their valuate, and the more cows one has the higher position a Dinka has in society.
Dinka's are known as being the tallest and most elegant people in the world. They have their own ideas about beauty. Dinka women remove 6 of their front teeth so they can spit as far as possible, and decorate their face and body with scars and the ash from burnt out cowpats.
In this short film we will be looking up at the Dinka culture not down. The Dinka do not have a written language, so history is passed on from generation to generation through story telling. This will be the style of the narration in this short film. We will follow a day in the life in this unique culture.
The strength of this short film is in the use of film and 50% still pictures. We will also use an original film music score, and a poetic narration.

Sudanese Dinka at Taos Pueblo
These are Sudanese Dinka Tribe refugees who, as children, endured civil war horrors and a torturous trek to reach safe haven. Many wound up in the United States, where, as young adults now, they work and go to school in an effort to eventually return and benefit their people.
April 29, 2007 they were invited to attend a Mass at the San Geronimo church in the village plaza, after which they spoke at length with the tribe's Lt. Gov. Frederick Lujan Sr.
They asked about religion, what lands the Taos people possess, how they are governed, the effort to preserve their native language and similarities in their struggles as historically oppressed people. Afterward, they visited with tribal Sheriff Carpio Bernal at his shop in the village.
There, they listened to a song from Bernal's wife's northwest coast tribe and then sang a song of their own, from a time when they trekked across a river and dreamt of the day when they'd be able to return home.
