All About Darfur

The Darfur film series continues this week with "All About Darfur," a contemplative journey of filmmaker Taghred Elsanhouri to the land of her birth at a time of crisis, examining the Afro/Arab race dynamic in Sudanese society through the prism of her own experience of race in Great Britain and Sudan. The film offers a unique opportunity to hear and see Sudanese people articulating in their own words how they feel about the Darfur crisis, about race and politics in their country, and about the place and role of the international community in their affairs.

"All About Darfur" won the Chairperson's Prize at the Zanzibar International Film Festival. Check it out on Tuesday, Aug. 23, at the Institute for Policy Studies (733 15th St. NW, Suite 1020), along with a discussion to explore ways to take action to stop genocide in Darfur after the film.
