Darfur, Sudan and 3 Points

Today I saw a documentary about the social problems of Darfur, Sudan, really touching stuff, basketball superstar (Tracy McGrady) goes to the region and tries to understand the situation there to later compromise to help.

Darfur is a place due war is in a "humanitarian emergency" state, whatever that means it doesn't sounds like a "safe" or "happy" place.

I dunno, these kind of things make you think a little bit about how awesome your life is comparing yourself with other people. Even myself, I grew up in the hood of a 3rd world country, certainly a whole different situation than living in Miami (a lot!).

Tracy starts talking (before going to Darfur) about how hard is the life in the hood where he grew up (Florida), just to find out a very different (and harder) reality.

See the movie on Hulu: http://www.hulu.com/3-points (too bad on Hulu for international readers).

3 Points stands for: Peace, Protection, Punishment / what the people of Darfur want.
