In this documentary, cameras go behind the scenes to North Darfur, a place long off limits to the media, which also happens to be the location of some of the most recent fighting in Darfur. The rare footage from this region tells the stories of children who have made it through the unimaginable only to live on the edge of survival.
One of those children is Rashida, a young girl whose brother was murdered right in front of her and whose own life was shattered when gunmen shot her through the ankle, crippling her for life. For her and the millions of others affected by this conflict, the only hope is the dwindling number of humanitarian organizations willing to risk the substantial dangers on the ground to provide relief.
The documentary is hosted by Dr. Bob Arnot, a seasoned field reporter who has filed stories from Sudan since 1989 for CBS News, NBC News, MSNBC and now exclusively for HDNet. Dr. Arnot has also reported worldwide on other humanitarian crises for over the last two decades, including Gulf Wars I and II, the Rwandan genocide and the civil wars in South Sudan, Uganda and Congo.
To highlight one of the largest and fastest relief efforts, with 13,500 humanitarian aid workers on the ground, "Emergency in Darfur - Children At Risk" follows the work of International Medical Corps. This U.S.-based medical relief organization, which operates in 25 countries and regions devastated by war and natural disaster, was one of the first to arrive on the scene in Darfur and remains there to this day.
"Emergency in Darfur - Children At Risk" also lays out the root causes of the conflict, from marginalization to global warming, and points the way to the future with a visit to a rare village that exists in peace.
