Children aren't the only ones who are hard on toys, as it turns out. But here, new dad Matt Damon wreaks mayhem for a cause: raising awareness about the five years of war and hundreds of thousands murdered by ethnic cleansing in the western part of Sudan.

Joining Matt in symbolizing so many shattered childhoods, Thandie Newton torches a Barbie doll and Joely Richardson dismembers a teddy bear. It's a stark story, but one that needs to be told. So kudos to these stars and others who put their fame to work publicizing worthy causes.
