DARFUR DIARIES
In October 2004, Aisha Bain, Adam Shapiro and Jen Marlowe traveled to Darfuri refugee camps in eastern Chad and snuck across the border into rebel-held areas of North Darfur.
They met refugees living in camps in the harshest of conditions, who built their own schools to educate their children although they had no resources whatsoever. They walked through the charred and broken remains of destroyed villages, trying to imagine the vibrant life that once was there. They spoke to leaders of the rebel movement resisting the Sudanese government. They conducted interviews with dozens of men, women and children whose strength and resilience in the face of horror was inspiring. They left Darfur and eastern Chad after almost a month with over 45 hours of footage and incredible stories, images and testimonies.
"I left the book and the film feeling a great real deal of hope for us all."
