Darfur Now

For all the film’s rallying efforts, its meandering structure and absence of a central focal point result in a film about genocide that is, as unbelievable as it sounds, kind of boring.

"...inspiring. But while it's commendable that Cheadle and Clooney travel the world to promote awareness of the Darfur conflict,..."
