US FILM A DISAPPOINTMENT
8 July 2008
fILM ON DARFUR produced by WNET in America turns out to be heavily biased. The Trustees of KIDS FOR KIDS were convinced by the Producer of the American film (a British Company called MayaVision introduced to them by the Sudanese Embassy in London) that they would make a film which would show a balanced picture of life in Darfur. Two thirds of the population are still clinging to their lives in the camps - yet virtually no aid reaches them despite often desperate need. Children are born into families where parents have the same ambitions as the rest of the world. To be able to clothe, feed them, make sure they have access to health care -and are educated. Yet these ambitions are beyond the wildest dreams for many families in Darfur - where even the very basic .... the need for water is denied. The only picture that the world has of Darfur is of life in the camps - and our hope was that WNET would show how help can be given to these families out of sight and out of mind. It was not to be. This was a biased film, showing the world once again, one side of the Darfur story, ignoring the plight of so many families beyond the eye of the camera.

OUT OF SIGHT AND OUT OF MIND – THE TRAGEDY OF CHILDREN IN DARFUR, SUDAN
1 March 2004
“Having just returned from Darfur, where conflict has forced over 790,000 to leave their homes, I was made aware of a hidden, parallel, tragedy to that of the IDPs (internally displaced people). This tragedy is rapidly gathering momentum, out of sight and out of mind, and is directly affecting countless small children as we speak.
