Aus der dortigen schwarzafrikanischen Bevölkerung stammende Aufständler verlangen von der Regierung des Sudan mehr Rechte und Mittel für ihre Heimat. Im Zuge der staatlichen Militäraktionen, getragen durch die arabische Nomaden-Miliz Dschandschawid, kommt es zu Kriegs-Gräueln großen Ausmaßes. Eine internationale Reaktion versagt. Hier ist dokumentiert, wie Individuen verschiedenen Hintergrunds die Situation zu ändern versuchen.
The struggles and achievements of six individuals bring to light the situation in Darfur and the need to get involved. From a UCLA graduate in Los Angeles, California, to a Darfurian woman who joins rebel forces, to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, to a United Nations humanitarian on the ground in Sudan, to an internationally known actor and activist, and finally to a community leader in a West Darfur refugee camp, the film portrays the efforts of six people responding to a humanitarian tragedy unfolding before our eyes. The film explores the Darfur conflict through the first-hand experiences of Don Cheadle, Hejewa Adam, Pablo Recalde, Ahmed Mohammed Abakar, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, and Adam Sterling.
