Oakton Hosts Documentary on Darfur Genocide
Darfur Diaries: Message from Home, a documentary that examines atrocities in the African nation of Sudan, where at least 400,000 civilians have died since 2003, will be shown at 2 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 12, in the TenHoeve Center at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines. The screening is free, and the public is invited.
Depicting crowded refugee camps and burned-out villages, Darfur Diaries also features eyewitness accounts of many individuals affected by the conflict. In the course of their work, independent filmmakers Aisha Bain, Adam Shapiro, and Jen Marlowe interviewed fighters resisting the Sudanese government, as well as teachers, students, parents, and community leaders.
The screening will be followed by a Q-and-A session with Marlowe, a four-year veteran of the Seeds of Peace Center for Coexistence in Jerusalem. Bain and Shapiro both hold positions with Global Rights, an international human rights organization.
For information, contact Krissie Harris, coordinator of student activities, at 847-635-1699.
