Watch online “A Journey to Darfur”

George and Nick Clooney’s highly acclaimed documentary A Journey to Darfur will make its online debut on AmericanLife TV’s Web site, network officials said Friday.

Viewers can now watch the entire documentary at www.americanlifetv.com, as the father and son team document the continuing genocide taking place within Sudan. Described as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, more than 200,000 people have died since the large-scale conflict began in Darfur. An estimated 2 million more have fled to settlements for the displaced, including nearly 368,000 since the signing of the Darfur Peace Agreement in May 2006.

Included in the documentary, which was produced by AmericanLife TV, are emotional interviews with the genocide-ravaged refugees of Darfur and an exclusive interview with George Clooney.
