Sudan - And you do not cry with us

The documentary addresses the struggle of South and North Sudanese Christians to endure the devastating impact of an ongoing civil war. Featuring interviews with Sudanese Catholic Bishops who provide an in-depth analysis of the dramatic political and human landscape, the program considers the daily suffering of the local populace as a war of North versus South, of Arab versus Black, of Islam versus Christian, enters its 19th year.
The program reveals how the tragedies of war - famine, cluster bombing, slavery; flight and refugee camps haunt the Christians of the South. Interviews reveal, for example, how a number of raids are carried out in which Churches, schools, and hospitals are bombed, although the government states that only military sites are being targeted.
In the North, for those Christians who have avoided internment in the Khartoum refugee camps, the struggle is one of an indirect persecution - no work, little food and restrictions on the freedom to practise the Christian faith. The program also considers the recent deepening of the crisis with the discovery of oil in the South, which has lead to an intensification of bombing raids by the Sudanese government in order to clear the Southern population from the potentially rich oil fields.
