Google Darfur is a 2007 documentary film directed by Robert Simental. The documentary was shot on HD video in Eastern Chad in early 2007, and independently released to DVD in the United States on October 9, 2007 via FilmBaby. A 28-minute cut of the documentary was broadcast on Seattle Community Access Television by Indymedia on February 26, 2009 then subsequently on other IndyMedia partner stations. The video crew consisted of director Robert Simental, cameraman Matt Bowen, translator Ahmed Borgoto and driver Zakaria Mahamat.

The documentary was shot in several towns and refugee camps in Eastern Chad, including Gaga, Farchana, Adre, Breidjing and Abeche. The film exposes dangerous conditions such as rape and violence for refugees living in the camps and major inefficiencies of the camp management. Google Darfur was submitted into evidence in the International Criminal Court (ICC) case against Sudanese President Omar Bashir.
