I thought this was a good documentary that got far closer to the truth of the world than many a similar documentary has come. The focus is not upon the atrocities that took place - in this case a picture truly does paint a thousand words, and there are plenty of pictures shown throughout the film to summarise the evil things that took place in Darfur. Instead, the focus is upon Steidle's frustrated efforts to get the world to listen to him. For those that have seen Hotel Rwanda and/or Shooting Dogs (aka: Enemy at the Gates) and learnt of the pathetic lack of action by the UN in Rwanda, the events that unfolded in Darfur will come as not so much of a surprise. This was not the initial reaction of Steidle, who at one point tells us "I knew bad things happened; I didn't think the world would sit by and allow them to happen". And this is exactly why we should take careful note of St John's words when he tells us: "They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us" (1 John 4:5-6). And similarly, with respect to those trying to silence Steidle, we should remember Jesus's words: "The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil" (John 7:7). Steidle also gives a good speech in Washington, saying that he'd prefer not to be there speaking and receiving cheers of support from such rallies - because he doesn't want there to be a need for such rallies. Steidle also exhorts the power of writing a simple letter to your congressman (or MP on this side of pond) to help get things changed. All of this reminded me of a time not so many months ago when a pro-life speaker gave a talk in my parish church and one man starting applauding at the end, followed by the rest of the congregation. The priest celebrating mass at the time waited for the applause to end, and then simply said "Don't clap - write a letter". One of the other things that comes up in the documentary is the verification that rape is used as a tool in the war these people are fighting - it's not simply an opportune moment of pleasure, it's a calculated, systematic action inflicted to stir up hatred and division. And unfortunately it often works too. Much more could be commented upon regarding this production, but I do advise you watch it yourself. Overall, the indelible reminder that kept coming back to me by the end was that without Jesus we can do nothing (John 15:5), and equally so, the reminder: "Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God" (1 John 5:5). Had Steidle mentioned the need for prayer as well as said letter writing, this documentary would have gone one step further in the truth it already embodies.
