DarFur - Vojna za Vodo

Directing: Maja WeissTomo Križnar

Synopsis

Dar Fur - War for Water is about a mission, that Tomo Kriznar, a human rights activist and Janez Drnovsek - a special emissary for former Slovenian President in Darfur, have made. While Kriznar presents Slovenian peace initiative to various fractions of Sudanese Liberation Army, he films very emotional talks with main rebel leaders and civilians. This is the first film about Darfur, which enables the rest of the World to have an insight into mentality of the rebels in Darfur and events, that took place there from February to June 2006. The documentary rises the question, why the peace, which was signed in Abudja in Nigeria between the Sudanese governement and Mini Minawa, self-proclaimed SLA leader, which occured to be the only signatory on the other side, was obviously just a political charade, which still continues today. This documentary reveals, that war in Darfur is not merely a war of people in Darfur against insignificance of Sudan and against Arabic greed for petroleum and natural resources, but it is above all - due to climatic changes - war for water. The biggest springs of water are found in Djebel Mara in Darfur, where the Furs live and happen to be the biggest victims of this war, indeed.
