An estimated 300,000 to 400,000 Sudanese have been killed in the Darfur genocide, with over 2 million displaced by the continuing hostilities. In his capacity as an official observer in the region, former US Marine Brian Steidle was an eyewitness to unspeakable violence, and returned home to raise awareness with hundreds of photos as evidence. This moving documentary follows his crusade all the way to the halls of Congress and the International Court in The Hague.

All movie screenings are private, non-commercial events restricted to FCCJ members and their guests.
