Crédit:

Actors George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle, as well as producer Jerry Weintraub, have agreed to use the premiere of the film as a way of making people focus on what is happening in Darfur.

The group will use their website www.notonourwatchproject.org. They will use money raised to help peeople affected by the conflict in Darfur.

Producer Jerry Weintraub told Access Hollywood, "All the guys have been to the Sudan this year. They saw this huge genocide and nobody doing anything about it, Clooney got attention earlier, but it faded. We decided to dedicate ourselves to this. The thing I am most proud of by far is that these events will benefit a cause that is very important to me and my colleagues."

The movie Ocean’s Thirteen will be in theatres on June 8.  It will have a special presentation at the Cannes Film Festival.

The genocide crisis in Darfur has resulted in 200 000 victims so far, and 2.5 million people deported.
