Read what reviewers had to say about the film:
Darfur Now is informative and effortlessly gripping.
Connie Ogle | Miami Herald
Slick, impassioned, and guardedly upbeat.
Ty Burr | The Boston Globe
By showing the struggles and efforts of about half a dozen people, it puts a human face on the tragedy.
Claudia Puig | USA Today
Check out the social action campaign around the film, or read the rest of the reviews on the jump…
Both important and engrossing, devastating yet inspiring.
Moira Macdonald | The Seattle Times
The title says Darfur Now–not Darfur Then, not Darfur Sometime. But the question it asks emphatically is, Darfur Now What?
Amy Biancolli | Houston Chronicle
This is the kind of film that doesn’t end after the credits roll, and it’s a gold-star example for what a documentary should do: inspire.
Kelley L. Carter | Chicago Tribune
Instructive as a portrait of activism.
Peter Hartlaub | San Francisco Chronicle
See Darfur Now, and you won’t read the daily news the same way again.
Ann Hornaday | Washington Post
What Darfur Now offers is a collective vision of actions, small and large, taken on many fronts, to end the crisis. The movie is a quiet, methodical call to action.
Stephen Holden | The New York Times
“Darfur Now” should be required viewing for audiences of all ages and levels of global awareness
Brian Orndorf | DVDtalk
Buy and watch this DVD. At this price, in fact, buy a dozen copies and give them away to others
Thom Hartmann | BuzzFlash.com
Thoughtful, sobering, hopeful, despairing, inspirational, depressing, and just in time for the holidays comes Darfur Now, a documentary about genocide in the Sudan.
Jonathan F. Richards | Film.com
A rallying call to aid Darfur and an uplifting case study in the power of individuals to effect change.
Sean Means | Salt Lake Tribune
Darfur Now maintains an effectively intense focus on the necessary work to save actual people in Darfur.
Cynthia Fuchs | PopMatters
All the stories are fascinating.
Richard Roeper | Ebert & Roeper
Each of the six stories is surprisingly optimistic…
Christopher Campbell | Cinematical
What Braun shows us here is that, yes, ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
MaryAnn Johanson | Flickfilosopher
Darfur Now puts a deeply human face on a global crisis
Katey Rich | CinemaBlend.com
…Instructive and disturbing (3 out of 4 stars)
Roger Ebert | Chicago Sun-Times
A call to arms of sorts, raising awareness of the land, the people, and the possibility for change
BrianOrndorf | Filmjerk.com
Hopefully, well-crafted and moving films such as Darfur Now will inspire more people to take that small but significant first step toward ending these atrocities
