ZenHQ’s powerful drama about the conflict in Sudan, Darfur, will have its South African premiere at the Cape Winelands Film Festival on Thursday, 18 March. The screening will take place at 8.30pm at the Labia Theatre, Kloof Street, Cape Town.
Directed by Uwe Boll, Darfur has competed at several international film festivals, including the Ion International Film Festival and the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles. It has been described in the US and Canada as “a powerful film that stays with you’.
Darfur stars Billy Zane, Edward Furlong and Kristanna Loken. The film follows a group of American journalists in Sudan who are confronted with the dilemma of whether to return home to report on the atrocities they have seen, or to stay behind and help some of the victims they have encountered.
Writer/producer Chris Roland will be present for a question and answer session directly following the screening. For more information contact Lee-Ann Cotton on 082 855-2529.
