Product Detail

Name:	Darfur Diaries: Message from Home (DVD)
Product Code:	881394101623
Description:	Directed by Adam Shapiro, Aisha Bain, and Jen Marlowe
Product Detail:	Through the voices of refugees, displaced persons, and in particular women and children, this film seeks to provide space for the marginalized victims of atrocities to speak and to engage with the world. In October 2004 a team of three independent filmmakers left for Darfur, Sudan and eastern Chad. After monitoring the crisis for months and recognizing that the mainstream media offered limited coverage, the team set out to provide a platform for the people of Darfur (both those displaced inside Darfur and those living in refugee camps in Chad) to speak for themselves about their experiences, their fears, and their hopes for the future. The conflict serves as the ongoing narrative in the film, but the focus is on the people who are living through what has been termed “genocide.” Additionally, the film probes the history, culture, and heritage of Darfur and, in so doing, both adds to the understanding of the crisis and rejects simplified portrayals of its root causes.
