• Mahmood Mamdani: Saviors and Survivors

  April 8, 2009

  In his new book, Saviors and Survivors: Darfur, Politics, and the War on Terror, Columbia University Professor Mahmood Mamdani argues that the use of the word genocide is as political as ever and strategic ignorance about the history and current day politics of post-colonial Africa is just as great.

• Got Docs? Crayons and Paper

  July 25, 2008

  Dr. Jerry Ehrlich first traveled to Sudan in 1991 as a volunteer with the aid organization Doctors Without Borders. Since then he has traveled to Darfur, Haiti, and Sri Lanka. Having viewed drawings by children during the Holocuast in the Terezin ghetto in what is now the Czech Republic, Ehrlich decided to provide his young patients with crayons and paper so they could document their own experience. He began to read the lives of children displaced by war through the pictures that they drew. When director Bruce David Janu saw some of the drawings on line he decided to meet Dr. Ehrlich. “I was just taken by him,” Janu says. “He is a film unto himself.”
