This film is one of those must sees, not necessarily because it is a brilliant film, but because it is polemical and untiring in its exposure of the genocide in Darfur. It's on the same bandwaggon as the outcry by stars such as Mia Farrow and George Clooney for the Chinese to do something - like impose sanctions - on the Sudanese govt. But my solitude in the movie theater last night is telling of how important the world thinks these people are.
It's a harrowing film because it's a harrowing story ... see it, and be prepared to come out with a clenched fist in the air.

(read more) Narrated by George Clooney, it takes a close look at the Darfur genocide. Not only is it powerful and troubling in the way you would expect, but the reasons for the lack of action are truly dismaying - a desire to finish a peace process, the cozy relationship between CIA and Sudanese intelligence agencies due to the "Global War on Terror". It is heartening to see young people, ranging from junior high school through college taking the issues seriously and pushing for change.

A must see.
