Darfur Now: Film Screening and Speaker Night November 10, 2008

STAND Western invites you to a screening of Darfur Now, a recently released documentary that focuses on the steps that six individuals from around the world have taken to effectively enact change with respect to the ongoing crisis in Darfur, Sudan. The film's emphasis on persistence is powerful; in effect, the lessons it contains can be applied to any form of social advocacy.

We will also be hosting very special guests. MP for London North-Centre, Glen Pearson, and his wife, Jane Roy- tireless advocates for Darfur, co-Directors of the London Food Bank, and adoptive parents of Sudanese children- have kindly agreed to speak. They have been to Darfur, and have firsthand experience that promises to be valuable learning material for us all. We will be taking donations at the door, the proceeds from which will go towards the operating costs of the event and to the Pearsons’ charitable organization, which delivers aid to South Sudan.
