Dr. Boll’s New Film
German film director Uwe Boll tends to be most known for his controversial content (i.e. ‘Tunnel Rats‘, ‘Pong’ & ‘Postal‘) rather than his academic studies (he *is* a Ph.D) and humanitarian efforts.
His newest film ‘Darfur‘ will challenge that reputation – and you can see it in Vancouver, Canada when Amnesty International presents the premiere screening of Uwe Boll’s ‘Darfur‘ on Thursday, December 10th - International Human Rights Day – followed by a Q&A session with Director Uwe Boll and Don Wright from Amnesty International.

What they found was genocide.

Actually, Dr. Boll challenged his critics to a boxing match (not other directors).

See now I would love to get to see this live. I missed the Postal one ages ago. I actually own all his movies from House of the Dead to Tunnel Rats. So I think that makes me deserving.
