Letter From Don Cheadle Darfur Now

Below is a copied letter from Don Cheadle regarding his new film Darfur Now. The film is opening in CT today and will be playing at Bow-Tie Cinemas in Hartford (860-549-0030)(Brainard Rd.), and Garden Cinemas Norwalk. (203-846-8795)


Dear Vonda,

Thank you for your continued efforts to bring an end to the conflict in Darfur. I hope that you can join me in getting the word out about the new documentary "Darfur Now".

Darfur Now is a story of hope amid one of humanity's darkest hours. It shows how the work of six people can make a difference in Darfur, and how our voices united can bring an end to the unspeakable horrors the people of Darfur face every day.

It follows the achievements of a Darfuri woman, a community leader in West Darfur, a UCLA graduate, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, a U.N. humanitarian aid worker, and an actor and activist (me).
As you may know, a film's opening weekend is extremely important and determines the exposure it gets. Darfur Now opens this weekend, but only in selected cities. Come watch the movie and bring your friends so we can ensure a nationwide release, help educate people about the crisis in Darfur, and empower them to help end it.


Sincerely,


Don Cheadle, Not On Our Watch
