Directed and filmed by Refugees International (RI) Board Member Matt Dillon while on an RI assessment mission to south Sudan in February 2009, this short documentary shows the current struggles of returning south Sudanese refugees and the communities that are hosting them.
Approximately 2 million south Sudanese refugees have returned home following the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement between north and south Sudan that ended a 21-year civil war. However, tensions between the north and south are on the rise again, laregely because of extreme poverty and lack of access to water, sanitation, education, health care and jobs.
Refugees International advocates for lifesaving assistance and protection for displaced people and promotes solutions to displacement crises. In south Sudan, the U.S. and the international community must support the implementation of the peace agreement and increase funding for basic social services and income opportunities.
