Since 2003, Janjaweed militias acting under orders from the Sudanese government have killed more than 200,000 civilians in Darfur and driven another 2.5 million into refugee camps, and this film follows two men who went to see the aftermath firsthand. In February 2007, Matt Bowen from Canada and Robert Simental from the United States travel to Eastern Chad, where the violence has begun spilling across the border, and document what they find in the camps and settlements there. The film argues that foreign governments, chasing oil interests in Sudan and Chad, have supplied weapons and money to the region while staying largely silent about the killing, letting the conflict expand rather than contain it. Made as a shorter cut of a longer feature specifically for an independent media outlet, the film sticks close to what Bowen and Simental actually saw on that trip rather than building a wider policy argument, leaving the raw testimony and camp footage to carry the case.
