Sugar, is a 2012 Saudi movie, directed by Saleh Fuad. with a runtime of 19 minutes.
Sugar is a short drama film drawn from a true story, shining a light on a child living with unmanaged diabetes — and a father whose ignorance and neglect allow the illness to worsen unchecked. Rather than a story of malice, it is one of dangerous unawareness: a parent who fails to recognize the severity of his child's condition and dismisses or overlooks the warning signs. Honest and unflinching, Sugar raises urgent questions about parental responsibility, health literacy, and the real human cost of neglect. A quietly powerful short film, it uses a personal tragedy to advocate for greater awareness around childhood illness in Arab communities.
