Upcoming Events Teach-In for Darfur - Film "A Journey to Darfur" Monday, January 23 at 7:00 pm The Meg Perry Center, 644 Congress Street, Portland, ME The Fur Cultural Revival will be showing the documentary film, “A Journey to Darfur” starring George Clooney. The public is encouraged to attend, and the event is free. The film will be followed by a discussion and a short presentation by El-Fadel Arbab, a Darfuri refugee, who will speak about the ongoing genocide throughout Sudan. George Clooney continues to use his celebrity to focus attention on the ongoing Genocide in Darfur. This film highlights Clooney’s journey with his journalist father, Nick Clooney, into the heart of the violence in Darfur. Without press, escort, or security, they travelled through Darfur with only cameraman Mike Herron to document the conditions there. July 23 is the
anniversary of the 2004 declaration by The US Congress of Darfur as Genocide.
Fur Cultural Revival will continue to hold rallies in memory of those who have lost their lives
and homes to this conflict. We will present films at The Meg Perry Center
on the 23rd of each month during the winter. On July 23, 2011, Fur Cultural
Revival hosted a national Peace in Sudan rally at The White House, and we are
looking forward to another successful rally in DC on July 23 of 2012. Wednesday, January 25 from 7:00-8:00 pm Dr. Ibrahim was assassinated on Christmas Day in 2011 by the Sudanese government. He was one of the leaders of Sudan JEM, a leading Darfuri liberation organization. This candlelight vigil will recognize Dr. Ibrahim's work and his passing at the hands of the Sudanese government. This event is free and the public is encouraged to attend.
