2) What is the difference between being an observer and a bystander? How did Brian change before and after his experience in Darfur? What were the obstacles to his speaking up and what were some consequences of his decision (professional, political, family relationships, etc.)?

3) In the film, Brian and Gretchen travel to eastern Chad to learn more from the Darfurians in eastern Chad. An estimated 250,000 Darfurians are refugees in eastern Chad.

What do we learn about the humanitarian situation in the refugee camps? What do you think the people living in the camps want for themselves and for their future?

4) According to the United Nations and other international agreements, what is their obligation in a situation like Darfur? What is meant by the statement that there is “no appetite in the international community to intervene.”? What is the impact of this attitude on Darfur and other places where ethnic cleansing and genocide occur?

5) What do we know about China’s relationship with Sudan from the film? What can we do to put pressure on China to get more involved?
