GUEST: Adam Shapiro, activist and film maker

In October 2004, a team of three independent filmmakers – Aisha Bain, Jen Marlowe and Adam Shapiro – went to Darfur, Sudan and eastern Chad. Darfur is the focus of an on-going genocide that the world has recognised but failed to do anything about. The film makers monitored the worsening political and humanitarian crisis for months and recognized that the mainstream media was not doing a very good job of covering the crisis. So they made a film to provide a platform for the people of Darfur to express themselves – it’s called Darfur Diaries.
