#74. Watchers of the Sky - Edet Belzberg Belzberg won the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival for Children Underground (2001) and she last attended the fest with The Recruiter in 2008, and while Park City has done Darfur before my feeling is that Watchers of the Sky (which works from a Pulitzer Prize winner and goes about the region via the Pov of modern day heroes aka as humanitarians) will find a slot in the U.S docu or Spotlight Docs section. Gist: Inspired by Samantha Power's Pulitzer Prize winning book "A Problem From Hell", this interweaves the stories of four exceptional humanitarians whose lives and work are linked together by the ongoing crisis in Darfur. Through the stories of these contemporary characters, the film uncovers the forgotten history of the Genocide Convention and its founder Raphael Lemkin, the legendary international lawyer who dedicated his life to the prevention of genocide.
