Sudanese filmmaker Ibrahim Shaddad provides a dramatic and powerful account of the trials and alienation of a Sudanese villager in a large city. Shot entirely without dialogue, the film's innovative use of sound helps tell the story of a shepherd who leaves his wife and herd to settle in a nearby town.

Since its premiere at the Alexandria Film Festival, INSAN has been shown in a number of festivals in the Middle East and Europe. This film is a prime example of experimental Arab cinema.
