All this is backed by Clint Mansell’s masterful original score. Transcendent and a stand-out piece of music of its own accord, the film could not be complemented better.

If fighting continues, already malnourished farmers won’t be able to harvest their staple crop of millet and Darfur’s four-month-old peace accord will lie in tatters. At this pivotal moment, the international community must offer Sudan one last chance to accept peacekeepers. If that fails, the UN should invoke Chapter VII of its charter to authorize a peacekeeping mission without Sudan’s consent. Critics of UN intervention argue that it?...
