- Dr. Jerry Ehrlich knew that he needed to make Doctors Without Borders part of his lifetime pediatric experience. In practice serving children in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, since 1966, Dr. Jerry made his first trip with that organization in 1991. The destination: Sri Lanka. The only pediatrician in a large hospital, Dr. Jerry tended to the young victims of that country's civil war that had been raging since 1983. Dr. Jerry brought with him not only his medical expertise, but also something for the children: crayons and paper. And through art, he had the children document their lives. These drawings are a testament to what happens to children in war. The images are devastating: villages on fire, people being shot, helicopters and planes bombing homes and villagers. Dr. Jerry went on to other troubled areas as well, including Haiti and the Caucus region. And on each mission, he brought with him supplies of crayons and paper. In 2004, he was called to Darfur. The U.N. has labeled Darfur as 'the worst humanitarian disaster in the world' and Dr. Jerry's photographs of malnourished and dying children only add weight to this declaration. But the crudely drawn images of Darfur's youngest victims add a heartbreaking and emotional urgency to the crisis in Darfur. They are violent, bold and heartbreaking. Crayons and Paper is the story of Dr. Jerry and the children whose drawings recount the devastating affects of war on the most innocent of victims.
- Brian Burns is a seemingly ordinary person. When we meet him, he is sweeping the floors in a suburban high school. But looks can be deceiving. Brian has a story to tell. It is a story of suffering. It is a story of death. It is a story of refugees running for cover at the ominous sound of a plane engine. But it is also the story of strength, courage and hope. It is the story of Sudan. Told through the eyes of ordinary people, living seemingly ordinary lives, Facing Sudan is truly about the Sudanese people struggling to survive. It is the story of the countless thousands who live day to day in refugee camps. It is the story of the world's reaction to the atrocities and violence in that war-torn African nation. The film demonstrates that seemingly ordinary individuals can do extraordinary things. A custodian. A housewife. A pediatrician. A grandmother. Seemingly ordinary individuals. Yet these individuals have a story to tell. It is the story of Sudan and what it takes to make a difference there.
