Coury Deeb began making films in 2005 on location in Sudan, just months after the end of hostility from the 21 year civil war. A few weeks after Coury returned from Sudan he decided on the name: Nadus Films. Nadus is simply Sudan spelled backwards. Coury realized his desire to invest in and become a long-term servant of the fight against social injustice. It is because of this desire that Coury and his team have completed 3 feature length films: shot in countries around the world.
With his background as a photographer and the resources available to him in the US, Coury knew that he was in a unique position to use quality, cinematic storytelling to enlighten the world about social issues and to give a voice to people, who otherwise might never be heard. In addition to documenting the world’s injustices Nadus Films does as much as it can to provide aid and support to its ground partners. Nadus Films ground partners receive 100% of all campaign donations. Our ground partners are instrumental in helping Nadus Films achieve the story needed.
The latest project from Nadus Films is BBoy For Life. It tells the story of three individuals who's lives are greatly effected by gang violence in Guatemala City. To counter the strife around them some Guatemalans commit their lives to break dancing and form crews of dancers who share the desire to stray from criminality. These individuals are called BBoys. The film’s title expresses not only the pride of the BBoy crews, but also the truth that while risking death from a gang’s disapproval, there are young men and women who would rather attempt life along the honest and artistic path of dancing, instead of gang banging. It is the hope of Nadus Films that BBoy For Life will positively affect the number of kids who can become trained break-dancers, rather than become a gang’s new recruits.
Nadus Films launched a KickStarter campaign to raise funds to finish the production of BBoy For Life. Click the link below to watch the trailer, see prize packages and learn more about the project.
