This documentary takes a close look at Islam in the Sudan today. The Sudan is helping to fuel Muslim militancy around the world - in Israel, Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia. Its leaders are accused of having expansionist dreams and training fighters for these foreign conflicts. This film investigates whether the West is justified in being nervous about what is happening there.
The film shows how a civil war has devastated the lives of civilians. Human rights groups are concerned about the relationship the Muslim majority has with their Christian and African tribal communities. Witnesses speak of starvation, torture and killings. At great risk, director Mark Stucke filmed the harsh reality of this secretive and reclusive country.

"British educated Sudanese bureaucrats brazenly sit before Stucke's cameras and deny all charges as Western anti-Islamic fabrications." World Views
