Film Oči in ušesa boga je dokumentarno pričevanje publicista in aktivista Toma Križnarja o več kot tridesetletnem prikritem iztrebljanju afriških staroselcev s sudanskih področij, bogatih z naravnimi viri – Nubskih gora, Darfurja, Abjeija in Modrega Nila. Od leta 2009 do 2012 je Tomo Križnar skupaj z Suleimanom Jamousom, humanitarnim koordinatorjem upornikov v Darfurju, in Klemnom Miheličem, ustanoviteljem organizacije Hope, prostovoljcem v sudanskih vojnih conah razdelili več kot štiristo kamer, da bi nanje zabeležili dejanja svojih agresorjev. To je osebno pričevanje o tem, kaj lahko stori posameznik s somišljeniki in prijatelji, ki še verjamejo v moč aktivne družbene zavzetosti in se ne vdajo konformizmu. Film priča o moči kamer, ki so lahko močnejše orožje od kalašnikovk, in vključuje posnetke, ki tožilstvu na Mednarodnem sodišču v Haagu služijo kot dokaz o genocidu nad ljudstvi v Sudanu. Dokumentarec pripoveduje tudi o rojstvu neodvisnosti Južnega Sudana in o tem, kako je odcepitev povzročila nove vojne med strateškimi interesi svetovnih velesil in obema Sudanoma.
Dokumentarec Toma Križnarja in Maje Weiss je zgodba o trpinčenih Sudancih, ki s pomočjo kamer, računalnikov in satelitskih modemov ščitijo svoja življenja in s tem postanejo priče lastnega gorja. Pozabljeni od svetovne politike, medijev in humanitarnih organizacij prosijo za pomoč ‘civilizirani’ svet.

SYNOPSYS:
The film Eyes and Ears of God is a documentary testimony of publicist and activist Tom Križnar about more than thirty years of covert extermination of African indigenous people from Sudan's areas rich in natural resources - the Nuba Mountains, Darfur, Abjei and the Blue Nile. From 2009 to 2012, Tomo Križnar together with Suleiman Jamous, the humanitarian coordinator of the rebels in Darfur, and Klemno Mihelič, the founder of the Hope organization, distributed more than four hundred cameras to volunteers in Sudan's war zones to record the actions of their aggressors. This is a personal testimony of what an individual can do with like-minded people and friends who still believe in the power of active social commitment and do not give in to conformity. The film testifies to the power of cameras, which can be more powerful weapons than Kalashnikovs, and includes footage that serves as evidence for the prosecution at the International Court of Justice in The Hague about the genocide of peoples in Sudan. The documentary also tells the story of the birth of South Sudan's independence and how secession led to new wars between the strategic interests of the world's superpowers and the two Sudans.
The documentary by Tom Križnar and Maja Weiss is the story of tortured Sudanese who protect their lives with the help of cameras, computers and satellite modems and thus become witnesses to their own woes. Forgotten by world politics, the media and humanitarian organizations, the 'civilized' world is asking for help.
