"Cure the Crisis"
My film essay tackles the complex crisis currently undergoing in Darfur. My main motivation for creating this film is my complete opposition of the struggles people in Darfur have been forced to endure. I want to document issues that have occurred thus far, focusing on the unfortunate genocidal aspect of the overall crisis. My emphasis will be placed on presenting the story of the crisis origins and statistics about the horrific outcomes that have and continue to ail the city. My cinematographic focus is not very strong, only because I’m unable to document my own footage for my film. However, since imagery is extremely important to me because I feel it is the most effective way to influence spectators emotionally, I plan on using images and possibly footage that others have taken. In order to get my point across I also plan on incorporating piano renditions of songs that challenge government and its politics. Overall I just want to instill a sense of obligation to help in any way possible. I want to motivate the films audience to sympathize with the oppressed and attempt to make a difference. Awareness of the issue is the first step to creating change and that is what I want to provide in order to “Cure the Crisis”.
