Darfur

I was quite surprised by what I saw when watching this film. It turns out to be pretty straightforward in educating the public of the possibilities of what is happening in the African area between the Sudanese and militia Janjaweed. The film opens with reporters going on an excursion with the assistance of the nation of Africa's captain as both a guide and chaperone. They run into a small village on their way to a place pretty far off and distant in the desert. The two easily identifiable stars in this film are Billy Zane and Edward furlong. The two heros are virtual unknowns. It turns out that the janja weed militiamen raid these villages for sex and acknowledgement of existence...they want to be feared and revered as very very important and are told to the viewer that they are a threat to any public villager closeby the Sudan country. For some reason it seems to explain that the main two differences between people of that region are African and Arab. so the heightened climax of the film happens after the Janjaweed encounter the Americans and the African captain at this small village in Darfur...not too far away from Sudan.The Janjaweed then wreak havoc and the Americans are frightened away Until two of the crewmembers decide that there will be unnecessary bloodshed and that they feel that they could at least assist in battle to protect some of the innocent lives that will be killed by the Janjaweed raiders. Its a very violent film.
