Ted Braun's documentary about Darfur showcases how six different people have each done their part in order to help stop the genocide in the region and bring humanitarian relief to the millions there who suffer. His subjects include a UCLA student who, with no political experience whatsoever, passes a state bill to stop any money from going to Sudan; the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court; Pablo Recalde, a central figure in the World Food Program; and actor Don Cheadle, the star of the movie Hotel Rwanda. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

The documentary was powerful and gave you a quick glimpse at the situation in Darfur. Even though, it did not go into further depth about the countries and companies perpetuating the problem, the movie provided enough for the viewer to research on their own.

A lot of effort was put into this everyone should see this movie regardless of their background an excellent awakening of reality. But I am still confused on how all this began, who, what, why, how, but this should be the least of our worries is happening right now and it doesnât seem to be slowing down. Before this I had no idea where in Africa Darfur was you dont know how bad this is till you hear and see it.

This is a good documentary. One gets informed as the filmakers show us the inside world of various diverse activists trying to end the genocide in Darfur. I also give credit to the film makers for including the opinion of the Sudanese government to provide some balance. I was however, left with the desire of getting a better "big picture" understanding of why the violence is taking place. Very good documentary overall.
