Adding South Sudan as a Country of Origin

Hi rmurtha0 - I have passed along your new Country request for "South Sudan" to the appropriate team for review, as soon as I have an update I will let you know here. Cheers!

Dear IMDb, A quick Google Search would show South Sudan has been a recognised country since 2011 and the newest country in the world. Since 2021, IMDb has been aware that South Sudan isn’t available as a country of origin when listing films. The last response from IMDb was in April 2024 to this thread, saying that "Our team is still reviewing and working on a resolution." This is not a review. This is neglect. The result is that IMDb erase South Sudanese cinema from short films, documentaries, to features because IMDb doesn't list South Sudan as a country of origin. The result is that all South Sudanese productions on IMDb lists countries other than South Sudan, mostly Sudan (separate country) as the country of origin because the option has every country but not South Sudan. I don't know if IMDb team actually understand this. The fact that IMDb has been aware about the issue and have been "reviewing" for four years now and nothing has been done to resolve the issue is absolute unacceptable. I hope IMDb finally resolve this issue as soon as possible because this is a high priority for all the reasons I have mentioned. Including South Sudan as a country of origin would be greatly appreciated by South Sudanese filmmakers, as it is essential to preserving the accuracy and integrity of the nation’s cinema.
