Sand and Sorrow
SESSION 2 (October 8th, 7-10:30pm)
USA, 2007, 94 min
Director/Producer: Paul Freedman
George Clooney narrates this sobering documentary about the genocidal crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan. The film follows a group of African Union peacekeeping forces on a journey through the area, observing the 2.5 million people displaced from their homes by brutal violence, and forced to stay in the squalor of temporary camps. Analyzing the cultural, political, and historical background of the area, the film examines how the government in Sudan was able to turn so ruthlessly against its own indigenous people, creating what would most likely go down in history as one of humanity’s most shameful moments.
