Wednesday November 14: Report Back from Darfur and Chad 
(And A Benefit For A Film About Darfuri Rebels) 
by Shane Bauer and David Martinez

A presentation of photographs and clips of film that was recorded in the Summer of 2007 by local photogapher Shane Bauer and film maker David Martinez, that attempts to put a human face on the Darfuri rebel movement and to explain the crisis from the point of view of the people who in a sense started the whole thing by standing up to the Sudanese government. It will focus on the ordinary (and not-so-ordinary) people who, frustrated by decades of marginalization by their country's rulers and inspired by the limited successes of the war in South Sudan, rose against Khartoum and have since suffered the terrible consequences. The presentation will place Darfur in a broader context, showing how the conflicts there are part of a longer and deeper history of the Sudan and of the Sahel region as a whole.
