Review of The Devil Came on Horseback (2007) by Aliya D — 19 Aug 2008

"All I had was a camera, a pen, and paper. I was totally unprepared for what I'd see." This film is Brian Steidle's photographs, video, audio recordings, and emails from his time in Sudan as an investigator during the cease fire agreement and his return visit to Chad, but it is also about ineffective and at times disinterested government powers and their lack of concern.

It's not for the faint for heart as you have to sit through 85 minutes of systematic genocide, rape, torture, and mutilation. Excellent production, editing and camera work. I would have liked to have heard some of the politicians speak on the topic.

.. not likely happening. And some more information on the links between Sudan, China, Russia and Saudi Arabia, the US and how they are all in bed with each other. It was briefly discussed how China is heavily dependent on Sudan's oil, but does not explain the fact that they need massive amounts of oil in order to supply the US with goods.

Watching this, all that ran through my mind was SHAME on US, SHAME on Western Governments for knowing what is happening and doing NOTHING! SHAME!
