Darfur Real-Time
Submitted by Gretchen Alther on Tue, 03/27/2007 - 9:00am.
Got a sneak preview the other night of award-winning filmmaker Paul Freedman’s latest film, “Sand and Sorrow,” about Darfur . . . and the genocide there.
Paul’s other genocide film, the one on Rwanda, was filmed after the genocide there claimed 1 million people in 100 days. And the world cried, “Never again!”
But Paul’s new film is current. It’s real-time. Because in Darfur, we’ve got a genocide that’s been going on for over four years, and it looks to keep going. Unless we do something.
If this were a test of the global outcry of “Never again!” after Rwanda, the world would be failing. And we will fail . . . unless we all stand up together and say something.
For it is only when ordinary people like you and me have stood together and demanded action that our leaders have placed Darfur on the political agenda. We need to make our voices louder and more numerous, and demand that our leaders stop this disaster, this mass murder.
Only then will there be a hope of ending the genocide.
Join us.
