With a former Warlord vying for power in the upcoming elections, this doc offers one-of-a-kind access to the murderous, cannibalistic men who have made Liberia the most dangerous country in the world. "Most of my boys would drain the blood from an innocent child and drink it before going into battle". There's an enthusiasm for battle here, which exceeds a simple history of violence. Young men grow up with a gun in their hands, desensitised to killing, and young women only know of sex as a means of employment or something forced upon them; seventy percent are said to have been raped. As the UN extend their peacekeeping mission, will the delicate stability of this country once again descend into open warfare? Or will the example of Joshua Blahyi, the Christian convert formerly known as Butt Naked, teach others to turn their back on violence? VBS.tv
