Earlier this year Ger Duany returned to Sudan after 18 years to vote for South Sudan's independence – and find the family he had to leave behind.
On Tuesday, the model and actor launched a fundraising campaign for the film he made about his experience, titled Ger: To Be Separate.
Duany told his story to ARISE in Issue 12, and hopes to share the tale further through the documentary.
In 29 days, Duany hopes to raise enough money to finish the film. To add your support, visit www.kickstarter.com.
