518    Originally produced by California Newsreel in 2005. 
520    A Sudanese immigrant to the UK returns to her homeland to 
       understand why the seemingly racially harmonious country 
       of her memories has become the scene of one of the worst 
       instances of ethnic cleansing in recent history. Director 
       Taghreed Elsanhouri says that she made this film "out of a
       passionate belief that I was uniquely qualified to tell a 
       story of race because as a northerner in Sudan I know what
       it is to belong to a dominant group and as a black woman 
       in Britain living with racism I know what it must be like 
       to live marginalized as a minority in Sudan. It is this 
       double consciousness that informs my story." She returns 
       to Sudan, having emigrated to Britain as a child, to see 
       how the seemingly racially harmonious country of her 
       memories could have become the scene of not one but two of
       the worst instances of ethnic cleansing in recent African 
       history. Up until now the perilous situation in Sudan has 
       been seen only from outside the country. All About Darfur 
       offers an opportunity to hear it explained by eloquent, 
       diverse even contradictory voices from within Sudan. The 
       director talks to ordinary Sudanese in outdoor tea shops, 
       markets, refugee camps and living rooms about how deeply 
       rooted prejudices could suddenly burst into a wild fire of
       ethnic violence. She asks how only two months after peace 
       accords were signed ending a twenty year long civil war 
       between the Christian and animist South and an aggressive 
       Islamic regime in the North, war broke out between the 
       ethnic groups in the West, or Darfur, and the government 
       in Khartoum. At an elementary school the director hears 
       repeated the lessons she learned about Sudan's creation as
       a nation state. It was originally a collection of small 
       warring fiefdoms or tribes which were only unified in 1825
       by the invasion of the Ottoman Turks eager for a new 
       source of slaves and gold. Elsanhouri's family in fact 
       were North Africanmerchants who emigrated with the Turks 
       and intermarried into the Arab Danagla tribe. Sudan 
       assumed its present boundaries as the largest country in 
       Africa when the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium took possession
       of it towards the end of the century. As a consequence, a 
       unified Sudanese cultural and political identity never had
       a chance to emerge. One professor interviewed suggests 
       that the Sudanese might form a multicultural state like 
       Switzerland but there seems little possibility for such a 
       compromise among the distrustful potential partners of 
       such a confederation. "A sensitive and non-sensational 
       portrayal of the war and destruction in Darfur that 
       privileges the voice of the average Sudanese....A useful 
       film for those interested in contemporary African politics
       of ethnicity and gender, civil wars and conflict 
       resolution and development." - Salah Hassan, Cornell 
       University "A highly personal documentary that is touching
       and illuminating." - Jennie Punter, Toronto Globe and Mail
       "A provocative and intelligent film." - Henry Sheehan, 
       President, Los Angeles Film Critics Association 
       "Elsanhouri seems influenced by certain Iranian filmmakers
       in that she modestly acknowledges the documentarian as an 
       influential interloper...a provocative and intelligent 
       film." - John Tobin, East Midlands Media.
