Liz
Walker will present a part of her powerful documentary on the Sudan, “A Glory
From the God”, the documentary that shows how one woman’s energy can ignite a
movement to change the world. The film profiles Boston minister and
pediatrician Gloria White-Hammond in the movement against genocide in Darfur,
and her commitment to support families in the Sudan. With exclusive video
footage, much of which she shot herself, Liz chronicles the many trips she and
Gloria have made to the Sudan, and the founding of the work of “My Sister’s
Keeper”.My Sister’s Keeper is a small
faith-based group of American women determined to stop the genocide and help
Sudanese women rebuild their lives and communities.
