Refuge
A Film About Darfur
A Film About Darfur
This enraging and heartbreaking documentary from Canadian student Jonathan Pedneault and filmmaker Alexandre Trudeau tells the story of the pair's trip to Darfur to investigate reports of genocide. As Pedneault and Trudeau make their way clandestinely into the heart of the Sudanese war zone with a group of rebels, they come upon refugees fighting for water, NGOs struggling to get food to the starving, and people battered by civil war and incomprehensible violence stumbling into camps on the edge of survival. The result is a story of remarkable courage and unfathomable despair.
