This PSA is, I think, one of the most effective, amazing pieces of TV I've ever seen. [More:]It's a PSA for the Save Darfur campaign, and they run on CNN a lot (there's a newer one that started last week, along the same lines). It's such a simple, brilliant idea for a way to make your audience "connect" with a conflict going on in a country that they probably don't feel any connection with.

Also, I don't know if these people are actors or actual "man on the street" types, but their delivery and their faces are just haunting. (Some of that gets lost on YouTube due to the compression.)
I must confess, having seen the title of it, I'm too chicken to play the video.
