 "An entirely new perspective."   " Stunning, sensitive, gentle, provoking." 
     SYNOPSIS   Three independent filmmakers went to Darfur, Sudan and 
 eastern Chad, monitored the worsening political and humanitarian crisis 
 there, and recognized that mainstream media coverage is inadequate.  The 
 team  provided a platform for the people of Darfur to speak for themselves 
 about their experiences, their fears, and their hopes for the future.  In 
 the film, the conflict serves as the ongoing narrative, but the focus is on 
 the people.  Through the voices of refugees, displaced persons, and in 
 particular women and children, this film seeks to provide space for the 
 marginalized to speak and to engage with the world.   The film presents the 
 Darfurians the filmmakers met (refugees, civilians, fighters resisting the 
 Sudanese government, child soldiers, teachers, students, parents, children, 
 community leaders)  as a people with full lives, culture, and 
 heritage--people with homes that they desperately want to return to, people 
 undergoing traumatic loss, but who demonstrate inspiring strength and 
 resilience.   more info:   http://www.darfurdiaries.org   \n
