Darfur Rising

Darfur Rising
Sudan, 5 min, 2006
dir. Peter Jordan

Children fleeing the genocide in Darfur describe the atrocities they have witnessed in their homeland. They remember their parents and siblings slaughtered in front of their eyes. They see pregnant mothers murdered and babies set on fire.

Safe now, in a refugee camp in Sudan, the children learn English in a temporary school. They sing and play in the school yard -- perhaps the only place where their childhoods are still intact. Having lost everything, all they have is education, which they hope will one day bring them peace.
