How to Help

We are not out to make a profit on this film. We merely want to produce a quality film that will help raise awareness of the issue. We want to produce something that can be shown in schools and be used by aid organization as well. We want as many people as possible to see our film and be motivated to do something about the situation in Sudan.

Although we have all the equipment needed to produce the film, the main costs will come from the following items: acquiring the necessary footage, both historical and contemporary. We must pay licensing fees to use such footage. For example, to license a 30 second clip of Colin Powell discussing genocide from CNN will cost over $800. Most organizations that have such footage charge anywhere between $35-$50 a second for footage.
