DVD Reviews of Sand and Sorrow
DVD Review: Vivid Portrayal
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great portrayal of the plight in Africa - specifically in Sudan. Great film for anyone who does not know about genocide or for those who already know and would like a different view. DVD Review: Get informed about Darfur, genocide
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good first study of Darfur for those who've read about it but haven't really understood it very well. Nicholas Kristof, NY Times reporter who was one of the first to break the story, is interviewed extensively and well. A Harvard prof. whose name escapes me is also a credible, articulate source of historical and current information. Footage of Darfur refugees and their stories is indeed haunting, as is interview footage with Elie Wiesel. Includes a somewhat inspiring call to action -- and coverage of Barack Obama's and Sam Brownback's responses. George Clooney narrates (and executive produced). Definitely worth seeing.DVD Review: Haunting
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this last night on HBO. Very well done but one of the most haunting documentaries I've ever watched.
Description of Sand and Sorrow
This 94-minute documentary details the historical events that have given rise to an Arab-dominated governments willingness to kill and displace its own indigenous African people, while examining the international communitys "legacy of failure" to respond to such profound crimes against humanity both now and in the past. Offered exclusive and unparalleled access to the situation on the ground inside Darfur, Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Paul Freedman joins a contingent of African Union peacekeeping forces in Darfur while a tragic and disturbing chapter in human history unfolds. As we see, while the heroic men and women of this undermanned, under-funded mission brave harsh conditions and unfettered violence, as many as 2.5 million displaced persons have no choice but to settle inside squalid camps in Darfur and neighboring Chad to wait and hope for a resolution that may be years away.General DVDs
