DVD: Sand and Sorrow - Sand und Tränen

Zitat

SAND AND SORROW details the historically tragic events in Dafur that have given rise to an Arab-dominated government's willingness to kill and displace its own indigenous African people, and examines the international community's "legacy of failure" to respond to such profound crimes against humanity in the past. To date, as many as 400,000 civilians in Darfur have perished from violence, starvation and disease. The documentary offers an exclusive look at the situation on the ground inside Darfur, drawing on unprecedented access to a contingent of African Union peacekeeping forces. SAND AND SORROW follows human rights activist John Prendergast, Harvard University professor Samantha Power and New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof as they journey through burgeoning refugee camps along the Chad-Sudan border, past mass graves inside Darfur itself, and into offices of the United States Senate to plead on behalf of the innocents of Darfur. They have helped fuel a growing and vocal international advocacy movement that is determined to make the phrase "never again" mean something.
