I never thought I’d find myself sitting beside a road along coastal Sudan at age 26. Yes, this was a well traveled thoroughfare. It was blistering hot and I was currently involved in the making of a documentary film of sailing down the Red Sea. As I sat waiting for a ride to the ghost town I could see off in the distance, I contemplated just how I actually agreed to get involved in this endeavor at all. You’d never guess just how pissed off I was in this photo.
