As you know, Farrow has been instrumental in keeping the humanity crisis in Darfur on the public's radar for several years. Farrow has also commended the students at Danbury High School for their documentary on the Darfur crisis entitled "The Promise"
"I do want to commend the Danbury High students and Tim for leading this project which I found startlingly moving and remarkable and concentrated–a plea for help for the people of Darfur who urgently need it."
"Just because you’re a kid, doesn’t mean you’re helpless as you can see from this video." "There are too few of us now. Get together and build the numbers. Together, let us make a difference and show our leadership that America, the United States, can take the moral high ground. Tell our legislators, our congressmen, our senators we care about the people of Darfur and we want them to take action."
After her interview, a roundtable conversation featuring Maher, former Florida Republican Congressman and talk show host Joe Scarborough, NPR commentator John Ridley, and Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank, discussed the origins of the crisis and the embarrassing inaction from the world community.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
