Culver’s chapter of Amnesty International will sponsor a showing of the documentary “The Devil Came on Horseback” (85 minutes long) at 7:30 p.m. tonight, Jan. 25, in Roberts Auditorium of the Math/Science Building.  This relatively recent film is about the civil conflict in the Darfur region of the Sudan in Africa.  It was originally shown at the Sundance Film Festival and released in October of 2007.
This is the story of “the tragedy taking place in Darfur as seen through the eyes of an American witness and who has since returned to the US to take action to stop it. Uses the photographs and first hand testimony of former U.S. Marine Captain Brian Steidle to take the viewer on a journey into the heart of Darfur, Sudan, where an Arab run government is systematically executing a plan to rid the province of its black African citizens. As an official military observer, Steidle had access to parts of the country that no journalist could penetrate. Ultimately frustrated by the inaction of the international community, Steidle resigned and returned to the US to expose the images and stories of lives systematically destroyed. We witness Steidle's transformation from soldier to observer to witness and, finally, to passionate activist and moral hero.” (Blurb from Amazon.com ).

The guest speaker in Protestant chapel this Sunday, Jan. 27, will be Rev. Bryan Siefert from Wesley United Methodist in town. Many of you know Rev. Siefert from Cordon or basketball, and we are excited to have him in the pulpit.
