Synopsis:

no image
Two revered journalists and a cameraman are in Liberia in 2003. US reporter Jonathan Stack is in the besieged capital of Monrovia. British photojournalist James Brabazon is embedded with the LURD (Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy) an army of rebel soldiers, some barely more than children, who are fighting to displace President Charles Taylor, himself a man indicted by the UN on 17 counts of crimes against humanity.

The film shows a country in a state of brutal civil war, looking to the US for help but receiving only empty promises from President Bush's administration.
