The Coastside Film Society is teaming up with the Half Moon Bay Library and the American Association of University Women to sponsor a free night of films about the problems of Darfur Africa. Although admission is free donations will be collected to help out the people of Darfur.

Feature: Darfur Diaries: Message from Home
Directors Aisha Bain and Jen Marlowe take us on-site to Darfur. The desert landscape is gorgeous, wind-swept, and littered with bomb fragments. The personal anecdotes are heart-breaking and appalling. Chosen by Amnesty International as an educational tool, this film provides the historical & cultural context needed to understand the germination of this political & humanitarian crisis. It also provides a testament to the continuing strength and resilience of a people whose lives, homes, safety, & rights deserve to be protected.

Short: The Lost Boys
In Peter Pan, the lost boys fought off pirates and crocodiles before flying off to Never Never Land. In Sudan, thousands of lost boys also fought off crocodiles and other dangers we can barely imagine before flying off to a new life in the US.
