World Without Genocide has DVDs available for classroom use.

Genocide Again: Darfur, a Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) production, is free to educators and includes a 26 minute documentary on genocide; curriculum materials; and a reader’s theater play entitled “Upstanders.” “Upstanders” is a Reader’s Theater piece about genocide, written by World Staff, that may be performed free of charge and without prior permission.

We also sell DVDs for $10 to the public, which include music videos about Darfur, and educational powerpoints.

Children of Genocide: Five Who Survived,  World Without Genocide’s documentary, a co-production with Twin Cities Public Television, was released in 2010. The documentary is comprised of interviews with five genocide survivors from Asia, Africa and Europe, now living in or near Minnesota. Each of the survivors, as an adult, is now engaged as a communicator, and involved in helping create awareness.

Interviews of survivors who were exposed to the atrocities of genocides as children keep the focus on the impact of genocide on children. Fred Amram at the University of Minnesota was a child in Germany during the Holocaust; Bunkhean Chhun was in Cambodia during that crisis; Alice Musabende from Rwanda was 14 during the genocide; Dragana Vidovic was a child in Bosnia; Augustino Ting Mayai is from Sudan and was 8 when he was displaced to Wisconsin. Through the interviews, the film raises awareness of how genocides from the Holocaust to Darfur have shaped history, and emphasizes how Minnesota has become a center of refuge for victims.

This film is available for $10 to educators and the general public.  The DVD includes curriculum materials about genocide tribunals, genocide prevention, and more.  We also include  ”Upstanders,” a reader’s theater play about people who have taken a stand against genocide such as Oskar Schindker during the Holocaust and Mark Hanis, who speaks out about Darfur.  This play, which includes the script and images in a simple PowerPoint format, is also translated into Spanish, Oromo, and Somali.  A new version of “Upstanders,”  called “Ten Who Dared,” is included and features people whose stories are not on the original version.

If you would like to receive a copy of the film and related materials, please send a check for $10 made out to World Without Genocide and mail to World Without Genocide, William Mitchell College of Law, 875 Summit Avenue, St. Paul, MN, 55104.
