Why did the world community allow the massacre of 200,000 Darfur Su- danese to go virtually unimpeded for four years? The reasons are vividly laid out in this masterful and com- pelling documentary. When United Nations intervention was forestalled by political ties between Sudan and China, it took grass-roots efforts by activists who threatened to rename the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games аз the “Genocide Olympics” to finally break the diplomatic logjam. Each step in that process is reported here with exceptional journalism and dramatic cinematography.
