'Blood Diamond' Stars Speak Out Against World Hunger
"What is so powerful that it can make you overcome your greatest
fear, turn your brother into an enemy, and leave wounds that scar long
after the fighting is over? What is so potent, it passes effortlessly from
mother to child? from generation to generation?"
The answer: "Hunger -- so deadly it kills 25,000 people a day."
These questions are being asked by actors Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer
Connelly, two stars of the film, Blood Diamond, in a new trailer for the
World Food Programme (WFP) that will run ahead of the film in cinemas
across the world. Blood Diamond opened in cinemas across Britain and
Ireland on Friday, the 26th of January.
WFP, the world's largest humanitarian agency, hopes that the exposure
generated by the Warner Bros. Pictures film will raise much-needed
awareness of hunger and poverty, which stalk more than 850 million people
globally.
The film includes scenes depicting realistic aid operations as undertaken
by WFP in the 1990s while feeding thousands of war victims who fled within
Sierra Leone and to neighbouring countries. At the time, WFP aid workers
witnessed acute humanitarian needs and untold levels of violence and
cruelty, similar to those depicted in the movie.
"Hunger is often the root cause of desperate acts by desperate people,"
said Neil Gallagher, WFP's Director of Communications. "Cinema is a very
powerful medium to help generate greater awareness and concern about
hunger, an issue largely ignored and little understood in the western
world, where most people are far more worried about their waistlines."
"Hunger is bad governance, hunger is need, hunger is poverty, hunger is any
number of things," said Edward Zwick, the director of Blood Diamond. "It's
the outgrowth of something that is systemic, and when you have in place
some system that is not enriching the lives of people whose country is
being exploited, that leads to hunger. I think that exists in many areas
of Africa, and in other parts of the world."
Zwick continued, "As filmmakers, we want to be accurate and, in so many
circumstances, the World Food Programme has been at the centre of refugee
camps and present in countries in distress - in Sierra Leone and in other
places. So if we, in the context of a movie, can put that image and the
knowledge in front of a whole host of people who don't know about it, then
we're hopefully doing well by them."
Some of the photographs used in the film trailer are part of a WFP/Benetton
campaign launched in 2003, called "Hunger", which featured powerful,
intimate photos of war victims, including ex-combatants and amputees.
