The Devil Came on Horseback

I have been writing a little bit about what has been happening in the Sudan and to add to that there is a new film coming out; The Devil Came on Horseback, which centres on the story of a former Marine captain (Brian Steidle), who spent 6 months as an unarmed monitor in Darfur. Its one of the films on my (must-see) list to see this year, it might be a hard one to sit through, but it is also an important one.

New York Times Review; Rotten Tomatoes; IMDB.

Through following a couple of links [to Laura]; I saw the website of Nadus Films, whose purpose is

to document the story of the Sudanese, and share it with the world. Treading gently as servants, we seek to touch the lives and hearts of the war torn nation of Sudan, by bringing them hope for a peaceful future.

I've also found a growing number of websites which are quite helpful in suggest what we can do and not only in Darfur.(Not on Our Watch; and Committee on Conscience) are a couple.
