Waiting

The video is about famine in Sudan particularly for the Dinkas of South Sudan that have suffered war for the last 40 years and are receiving international aid. Sacks of grain are dropped from plains but to avoid riots the distribution has been delayed until the arrival of reinforcement. During the week of waiting, we witness the face of hunger and dispair.

  • "The Dinkas of South Sudan are an extremely patient people. With empty stomachs, they await the next harvest. For the last 40 years, an intermittent state of civil war has divided the country in two. Too often famine has struck. The population of Alek has requested aid. Sacks of grain are dropped from planes, but to prevent rioting, distribution is delayed until the arrival of reinforcements. During this week of waiting we witness the face of hunger."

  • ""Waiting chronicles the remarkable dignity of a people in a truly desperate situation. The people of the town of Alek have run out of food. The grain crop has been consumed, and enemies have stolen their livestock. Desperate, the people appeal for hunger relief. One hundred and forty five tons of grain are air-dropped into Alek, but there is a problem: without enough relief workers to distribute the food properly, there might be a riot. For a week, as the food sits on the ground, everyone, the starving Dinkas, and the well-fed aid workers, waits for relief"--Container."@en
