OT - T-Mac's visit to Darfur | Movie
Posted: Sun Sep 6, 2009 6:50 am
I know this is a little sensitive topic but I'm compelled to post this here after watching Tracy McGrady's movie on his recent travel to Central Africa to visit the children suffering in the refugee camps in Chad. The movie got released on Hulu and you can watch it in the following link.

Got to appreciate T-Mac for leaving the comfortable confines of his luxurious house in Houston to go to Central Africa so that the story of the less fortunate humans in the conflict ridden region is brought to the notice of the outside world. Having spent 20 years in a 3rd world country myself, I can tell you that if what I'd experienced was 3rd world, then this must surely be hell on earth. You can see people without proper housing & electricity and people are forced to survive under thatched roofs in severely humid conditions. Worse even they're forced to travel miles on barefoot to fetch drinking water and the kids play soccer with a bunch of rags rolled into a ball. This is by far the most gross violation of human rights on our planet.
