The Darfur Diaries filmmakers spent two nights in
Muzbat village in November 2004, sleeping outside the
destroyed and abandoned school building. From meeting
and talking with dozens of villagers during filming,
the team found that Darfurians hold as one of their highest priorities the education of their children.
