All About Darfur.

I would like to highly recommend "All About Darfur", a documentary filmed by a Sudanese-British woman about the complex Sudanese attitudes towards the humanitarian crisis in Darfur. It was shot on a shoestring budget as the director and interviewer traveled in Sudan, disarmingly and revealingly interviewing the people she met about their attitudes towards the conflict, racism, the West, and what it means to be Sudanese. The most remarkable aspect of the film is the way it unabashedly faces the many aspects of the conflict, making no attempt to simplify it or impose an agenda. As much as is possibly, it simply gives eloquent voices to the many Sudanese the director meets, their experiences, and the terrible complexity of war.

The director came to speak to the showing at LSE and answered questions afterwards. I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- this sort of thing is why I love it here.
