The Heart of Nuba is a the story about an American doctor Tom Catena as he selflessly serves the needs of a forgotten people in the war-torn Nuba Mountains of Sudan.  The feature length documentary has literally inspired a movement to save lives.  It also has raised nearly $600,000 in donations, 100% of which have gone to medical supplies, staff training and other critical needs of the Mother of Mercy Hospital located in the south of Sudan. The popularity of the film has put pressure on Sudan’s President, convicted war criminal Omar Hassan al-Bashir, to cease the relentless bombing of innocent men, women and children in the Nuba region.  After viewing The Heart of Nuba, the Genocidaire declared, “The Heart of Nuba is the primary reason for the ceasefire in the Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile State.”  This miraculous ceasefire has lasted over two years.  With the recent ouster of al-Bashir we are cautiously optimistic about the future of the Sudanese people and their determination to create a more democratic form of government.
