Following the premier of Darfur Now, Don Cheadle began work on a film in which he portrayed a Sudanese-American who infiltrates a ring of terrorists. Traitor, which opened in Summer 2008, was a tremendous success. He's currently at work on a biopic of Miles Davis that he will star in and direct. In addition Don has been honored on several occasions for his activism and film career - by both the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), Film Independent, and most notably by the 8th World Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates – a group that includes former Soviet President Michael Gorbachev, former President Jimmy Carter, the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu – who presented Don with the 2007 Peace Summit Award for his work on behalf of the people of Darfur. Action: Enough!
