145. Her entire life is built around vengeance?????

Farrow became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2000 and is a high-profile advocate for human rights in Africa, particularly for children's rights. She has worked to raise funds and awareness for children in conflict-affected regions and to draw attention to the fight to eradicate polio.[3] Farrow has received several awards for her humanitarian work[117][118] including the Leon Sullivan International Service award,[119] the Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award[120] and the Marion Anderson Award.[121] In 2006, Farrow and her son Ronan visited Berlin in order to participate in a charity auction of United Buddy Bears, which feature designs by artists representing 142 U.N. member states.[122] In 2008, Time magazine named her one of the most influential people in the world.[123][1]

She has traveled to Darfur several times for humanitarian efforts, first in 2004.[124] Her third trip was in 2007, with a film crew engaged in making the documentary Darfur: On Our Watch.[125] The same year, she co-founded the Olympic Dream for Darfur campaign, which drew attention to China's support for the government of Sudan. The campaign hoped to change China's policy by embarrassing it in the run-up to the 2008 Summer Olympics held in Beijing. In March 2007, China said it would urge Sudan to engage with the international community. The campaign persuaded Steven Spielberg to withdraw as an artistic adviser to the opening ceremony. During the Olympics, Farrow televised via the internet from a Sudanese refugee camp to highlight China's involvement in the region.[126]

Later in 2007, Farrow offered to "trade her freedom" for the freedom of a humanitarian worker for the Sudan Liberation Army who was being treated in a UN hospital while under threat of arrest. She wanted to be taken captive in exchange for his being allowed to leave the country.[127] Farrow is also a board member of the Washington, D.C. based non-profit Darfur Women Action Group (DWAG).[128]

In 2009, Farrow narrated a documentary, As We Forgive, relating the struggle of many of the survivors of the Rwandan genocide to forgive those who murdered family and friends.[129] To show "solidarity with the people of Darfur" Farrow began a water-only fast on April 27, 2009.[130] Farrow's goal was to fast for three weeks, but she called a halt after twelve days on the advice of her doctor.[131] In August 2010, she testified in the trial against former Liberian President Charles Taylor in the Special Court for Sierra Leone.[132]

Farrow helped build The Darfur Archives, which document the cultural traditions of the tribes of Darfur.[133] She has filmed some 40 hours of songs, dances, children's stories, farming methods and accounts of genocide in the region's refugee camps that make up the current archives.[134] Since 2011, the Archives have been housed at the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center at the University of Connecticut.[135] In 2013, Farrow criticized President Barack Obama for his lack of address regarding Sudanese genocide during a United Nations General Assembly.[134] In February 2015, Farrow appeared in an episode of A Path Appears, a PBS documentary series from the creators of the Half the Sky movement. In the episode Farrow travels to Kibera, Kenya's largest slum, to share stories from organizations providing education to at-risk girls.[136][137]

Farrow has also participated in environmental activism, in 2014 protesting against Chevron, accusing the oil company of environmental damage in the South American rainforest.[138]

Oh yeah. Vengeance.
