  • shane and david...that was absolutely courageous...really inspired me when i saw that today...

    not a lot of people truly know what's going behind the scenes in darfur...the little news we receive is convoluted at times, and unfortunately little gets paid attention untill people start dying...

    however, you guys showed the life in the conflict, and you showed a side that rarely anyone gets to see...

    i thank you gentlemen for truly being journalists...

    great job!

  • I'm glad you took time to show the humanity of the soldiers.

    Sometimes I get trapped into this way of thinking, that the conflict in Darfur is one-sided, that it is predator and victim. Sometimes I think that the Janjaweed are just slaughtering these people and meeting no resistence.

    It was enlightening to see the other side as well, that the Sudanese Liberation Movement is occurring and its army is composed of people who love their country, "the land of their ancestors" as the man in the film said.

    This is a beautiful pod, a beautiful piece of humanity, in the midst of an ugly cloud of dehumanization and manslaughter.

  • I'm very glad to see a pod like this about Darfur.

    It is true that you hardly hear any news about it anymore, and I was excited to see that two people would spend time to just see how a day is to them.

    "The western media has presented the political and humanitarian crisis in Darfur and broader conflict in Sudan as a race or religious war. This is a false paradigm. The conflict in Sudan is NOT one pitting the so-called Muslim- Arab North and the so-called Christian/animist South, or between the Arab Janjaweed militia working in collusion with the Sudanese government and the Black Africans of Darfur. The people of Sudan are all Africans, be they Black-Africans or Arab-Africans.

    As noted by some analysts, the race and religious analogy of the conflict is part of the ideological ploy of U.S. imperialism to generate anti-Arab hostility among African-Americans and Black Africans, to win support of African-Americans and Black African Christians for the US Neo-Conservatives/Christian right project against Arab and Muslim Africans, and in particular against Sudanese Muslims. It is also aimed at undermining the long standing Afro-Arab solidarity that has historically striven against the forces of western imperialism, colonialism apartheid and the occupation in Palestine."

  • in my high school, i helped raise a little over 1200 dollars to send to help those in refugee camps in darfur, but i wish i could do more than just send money.

    i resent that the media highlights a topic like the fighting and genocide in sudan and then a few days later forgets about the people altogether. we cant just be compassionate about what the news channels use for stories, we've got to be compassionate and active always until these crises are solved for real, not just forgotten

  • This was a beautiful pod you guys did and I am inspired, impressed, and extremely greatful that you two really decided to show their side. All we here in the new is Genocide, Manslaughter, Murder,War ,Famine, Rape, and just unrest in The Middle East and in parts of Africa like the Sudan. I believe that this was definitely a step in the right direction, but showing the humanity of these people fighting for their rights to things they should never be with out. I thank you for excellent Journalism and I hope to see more from you both, and from others alike. Lets start showing the real truths, and real sides of the stories of these people, not just what the American media deems easier to sell the people!

  • It's so excellent that you two cared enough to find out this than relay it to us in film.

  • Very interesting, I seemed to me a independent view of a topic you don't see on the corp. news.

  • When I first heard about Darfur i thought it was a religious war because of how the media portrayed it, but after watching this pod, I realized it isn't about that at all.

    This pod is different in how it isn't a clip of suffering starving children or a clip of blood and violence, but of people who are truly care for their country and want to change it.

    So, thanks for sharing, I really appreciate it.

  • We do take so much we have for granted.

  • I have all the sympathy in the world for the people in Darfur and there situation. And I understand that force is needed to bring change at times. But rather than complaining about what the gov't isn't doing why don't the Darfur people in the outlying area set about to fix there problems themselves, building there own roads and infrastructure. If you are waiting for any government to solve all of your problems you will be waiting for quite a while.
