- Summary
- In the video game 'Darfur Is Dying', players must ensure the survival of a virtual refugee camp. The video game not only puts players in the position of a struggling refugee, it shows them how they can bring about change in the real world. This volume examines the role of film and the Internet in creating virtual witness to genocide over the past 100 years.
