Filed under Uncategorized, Global on January 18, 2008.

Become a witness to the crisis in Darfur. The UF Model United Nations team invites you to view “Sand and Sorrow,” a newly released film by HBO detailing the ongoing tragedy occurring in Africa. A summary of “Sand and Sorrow” from HBO.com:

“Ten years after the genocide in Rwanda, another tragic story of inhumanity is unfolding in another African nation. As a bloody byproduct of the ongoing civil war in Sudan, hundreds of thousands of native Sudanese have died, while millions more have been forcibly displaced from their homes and land in the western region of Darfur by their own government. Executive produced and narrated by George Clooney, and directed by Peabody Award winner Paul Freedman, SAND AND SORROW journeys into the heart of the crisis in Darfur.”
