I'm bracing myself and watching it while my kids are at school. I want them to know about the world, but this sounds a bit graphic. Didn't you review a kids book regarding Darfur? I'll have a look in the past posts, but I would love to have my kids grow up informed about the world around them and not grow up in a bubble, but I want something appropriate.

I hope you like it! Wordlily - I know! Can you believe that people think that way? Rebecca - I look forward to your review. Come back when your done! Meghan - If only to teach people about what's going on, yes, everybody should pick it up. The documentary is even more powerful (because of the photos). Jen - Isn't that a selfish way to think? Jenn M. - Brace yourself. My husband and I cried our way through the documentary. It was amazing but so, so sad. Alyce - You're welcome! Ginger - Breathe! Thanks for all of your support. I always love seeing that you've left me a comment. Mrs. B. Roth - You wrote an excellent review of the film. Wasn't it just heartbreaking?! It was after Taylor watched this film that he said, okay, I'm in. Let's do this Darfur thing. Lisa - The book is easier to read emotionally than the film. Thanks for taking time to read it. Tanabata - He would watch time after time attacks on villages and then go in afterwards to conduct interviews on both sides of the conflict. I think that is what frustrated him the most was that they were inadequate to do anything and that nobody had any interest in helping. Lisa - Rebecca - Thanks. I hope you like it!

I am the world's worst about not looking at things that horrify me (as you may can tell from my previous comments) but I am going to try to read SOMETHING about it.

Thank you so very much for increasing awareness and doing something. I wrote a post about it and encourage all of us interested in Darfur to write to our senators and both of the senators looking for our votes. Even a few emails, I think, is better than sitting at home and crying for helpless beautiful strangers on another continent. I just watched the documentary on Netflix Instant Movies.
