There has been many
films that shows the tribes of Darfur in peril due to the war, unfortunately
there isn’t a positive film that shows the tribes living happily, or go in
detail about how they live, the primary focus is how they feel and how they
deal with the Jangaweed and the war.
The two well received
rated movies are
Attack on
Darfur 2009
American journalists
in Sudan are confronted with the dilemma of whether to return home to report on
the atrocities they have seen, or to stay behind and help some of the victims
they have encountered. –imdb.com the American journalists do encounter the
Jangaweed, I haven’t seen this movie but I read good things about this movie, I
hear its very violent and has gore, this is a Hollywood made movie, but it shows what happens when the Jangaweed comes and destroys a tribe.
Darfur Now 2007
Academy Award-nominee
Don Cheadle examines genocide in Sundan's western region through the struggles
and achievements of six different individuals in Darfur.-imdb.com I have seen this movie, it also has actor
George Clooney in it, he also helps Don raise awareness and help stop the
genocide. It is a pretty good movie, it’s a documentary piece, very
informative, but sad to say after all their efforts, the genocide continues,
and the Sudanese officials ignore their efforts. If you go to amazon.com and type in Darfur in
the movies/tv section you will find a bunch of movies on Darfur, it is mostly
documentaries about the war.

On a positive side,
you can go to youtube.com and search Fur tribes singing and dancing, they do
traditional songs and dances.
