Darfur is the new Apartheid

As Darfur is the new Apartheid-era South Africa, the entertainment scene at large (or at least Don Cheadle) has grinded to raise public awareness of the atrocities going on across the water. Stand and Participant Productions have produced a documentary called Darfur Now and are embarking on a screening tour featuring today's music blogosphere champs in select cities. Maybe a few of these names might be familiar...
