Description

In February, 2003, the Sudanese Liberation Army in Darfur (the western region of Sudan) after years of oppression took up arms against the Sudanese government. The government and allied militias answered the rebel with mass murder, rape and the wholesale destruction of villages and livelihood, resulting in some of the world’s largest humanitarian and political crises. As much as 2 million people were displaced; 400,000 people killed. In October and November, 2004, after watching woefully inadequate media coverage at the crisis in Darfur, a team of three independent filmmakers trekked to Darfurian refugee camps in eastern Chad and crept across the border into Darfur. They met dozens of Darfurians, and spoke with them about their history, hopes and fears, and the tragedy they’re living. Refugees and displaced peoples, civilians and fighters resisting the Sudanese government, teachers, students, parents, children and community leaders give you the heart of Darfur Diaries. Their stories and testimonies, woven together through the personal experience of the filmmakers, and conveyed with political and historical context, provide a much-needed account to lend a hand have in mind Darfur. These are people whose lives, homes, safety and rights deserve to be safe as vigilantly as those of peoples everywhere the world.
