PR: Darfur Now

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DARFUR NOW ORIGINAL SCORE
TO BE RELEASED BY LAKESHORE RECORDS

(December 11, 2007- Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the original motion picture score, composed by Graeme Revell (GRINDHOUSE: PLANET TERROR, SIN CITY), for DARFUR NOW on December 18, 2007. The film is a documentary, a call to action for people to help end the crisis in Darfur.

Graeme Revell’s first film score was for the Australian thriller DEAD CALM, which starred Nicole Kidman. Since then he has become a highly sought-after film composer, known for incorporating traditional ethnic music and natural sound. He has collaborated with a wide range of film makers including George Miller, John Woo, Michael Mann, Ted Demme, Philip Noyce, and Robert Rodriguez.

Revell’s credits include THE CROW, CHINESE BOX (Winner-Best Score at the Venice Film Festival), THE NEGOTIATOR, DAREDEVIL, and THE ADVENTURES OF SHARKBOY AND LAVAGIRL.

For the first time in history, the US Government has declared a genocide while it is ongoing. In DARFUR NOW, the struggles and achievements of six very different individuals bring to light the situation in Darfur and the need to get involved. From a UCLA graduate in Los Angeles, California, to a Darfurian woman who joins rebel forces, to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, to a United Nations humanitarian on the ground in Sudan, to an internationally known actor and activist, and finally to a community leader in a West Darfur refugee camp, the film portrays the heroic efforts of six people responding to a humanitarian tragedy unfolding before our eyes. Written and directed by Ted Braun, the film explores the Darfur conflict through the first-hand experiences of Don Cheadle, Hejewa Adam, Pablo Recalde, Ahmed Mohammed Abakar, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, and Adam Sterling.

Warner Independent Pictures presents DARFUR NOW, currently in theaters. The Lakeshore Records recording, featuring the score by Graeme Revell, will be available on December 18, 2007.
