The Devil Came on Horseback
In 2004, former U.S. marine Brian Steidle was assigned to Darfur as an 'unarmed monitor' and became a key witness to the region's unfolding genocide, bringing back a series of disturbing photos that captured, with graphic clarity, the inhuman violence visited upon non-Arab citizens by the government-sponsored militias known as the Janjaweed. Steidle's experience documenting the crisis in the Sudan is urgently retold by this acclaimed documentary.
