| The Devil Came On Horseback - Aug. 15, 7pm |
The Devil Came On Horseback is a 2007 documentary "that exposes the genocide raging in Darfur, Sudan as seen through the eyes of a former U.S. marine who returns home to make the story public."
From the website of Captain Brian Steidle:
"In September 2004, Brian was then invited to serve in Darfur as an unarmed military observer and U.S. representative to the African Union. He was one of only three Americans serving with a coalition of African countries monitoring the ceasefire between the two African rebel groups and the Government of Sudan. After six months, Brian’s conscience would no longer allow him to stand by without taking further action, and he became convinced that he could be more effective by bringing the story of what he witnessed to the world."
This film was inspired by Steidle's book of the same name and directed by Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg. 106 minutes. |
