Darfur Diaries is a film which records testimonies from 2004, of the survivors living in the Darfur region. The current humanitarian chaos in Darfur continues to rage, unabated, with millions of lives in the balance. The filmakers have traveled to the region to give international representation, and voice, to the victims of this war torn region of the world.

The 20th Century has been labeled "The Century of Genocide." Learning about these events dispels indifference.

Please join us for an evening of appreciation and tribute to the hundreds of millions of genocide victims worldwide.
