This is a fantastic video in support of a very worthy cause conceived and directed by Jamie Catto, 1/2 of the 1 Giant Leap duo.

Sudan 365 – A Beat For Peace

In 2011, a referendum will determine whether or not the Southern region of Sudan becomes independent from the North. Experts fear that instability in the run-up to the referendum or its aftermath could reignite a civil war and cause massive human rights abuses unless international efforts are intensified to find a peaceful path through the next 12 months.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED
====================
Take part in a world-wide drumming video and help us pressure world leaders to push for peace in Sudan. Simply post a video reply on YouTube – in your video description add a line about who's doing the drumming and where it's happening, then tag it with 'Sudan365' and 'beat for peace'. We'll take the best responses we receive and mix them into a final video – containing clips of drummers from across the globe – to demonstrate the support for international action to prevent further conflict.
