DEATH IN THE LAND OF THE FUR

DEATH IN THE LAND OF THE FUR
Since 2003 Arab paramilitaries known as Janjaweed, along with the Sudanese army, have been regularly conducting raids against revolted African tribes in the Darfur province, in the west part of Sudan.
So far more than 2.2 million people have been dislocated from their villages and have become refugees and more than 300.000 people have been murdered.
Yorgos Avgeropoulos records - in some cases legally, in others illegally- death and persecution in the context of a relentless civil war. A war that began in the form of a small scale conflict over some land and water, as a consequence of climate change. Aided by the countrys dictator, President Bashir, it has turned out to be one of the most savage of todays wars; a tragedy that, while unfolding right before the eyes of the international community, seems to be well hidden behind the desert dust.Written, Produced & Directed by YORGOS AVGEROPOULOS
