Cotton Queen Wins Best Film at Thessaloniki Film Festival

A movie called 'Cotton Queen,' made by a filmmaker from Sudan named Suzannah Mirghani, won a big award at the Thessaloniki Film Festival.

This movie is about a girl named Nafisa in a village in Sudan where people grow cotton.

Her life is simple until a businessman comes along.

The judges said the movie felt important, especially now because there's a lot of war and fighting in the world.

It reminded them about what really matters, like family and sticking together.

The filmmaker was happy to win, especially because some actors in her movie had to leave their homes because of fighting.

She said it's good that people can still make art even when things are hard.

Many other movies and actors also won awards at the festival.
