3) In the film, Brian and Gretchen travel to eastern Chad to learn more from the Darfurians in eastern Chad. An estimated 250,000 Darfurians are refugees in eastern Chad.

What do we learn about the humanitarian situation in the refugee camps? What do you think the people living in the camps want for themselves and for their future?


4) According to the United Nations and other international agreements, what is their obligation in a situation like Darfur?
