Liberia: An Uncivil War (2004 TV Movie)
10/10
War documentary at its gritty finest
30 April 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Armed with Canon XL1 pro-sumer video cameras, James Brabazon and Jonathan Stack went into the Liberian jungle in 1993 and brought out a great war documentary. This film is as real as can be.

Brabazon and Stack didn't just film, they interviewed key players from both sides of the conflict and did their homework. They present viewers with a stark look at the current reality of tribal and urban warfare fought in a subtropical environment. LURD rebels and henchmen of Liberia's former dictator Charles Taylor are both presented in an equally objective light.

This documentary is a must have for anyone interested in the current state of civil warfare. It features extremely graphic imagery and is not recommended for the squeamish.
