Review – The Devil Came on Horseback

When ex-Marine Brian Steidle took a job chronicling human rights abuses in Darfur, apparently he wasn’t prepared for what he’d find. This documentary takes us along as he photographs the corpses and wreckage left in the wake of atrocities committed by the Janjaweed (“Devils on Horseback”), Sudan’s death squads. It pretty much goes without saying that this is a depressing experience, but it’s also a good way to stop ignoring the problem and at least learn a bit about what’s going on. Mildly amusing
