Warning: This film contains strong images

This is a story about a brutal war hidden from the eyes of the world. It is a story about arms sanctions that don’t work and about torture and summary justice. It is a story about a man called Deku, a thirty year-old general fighting for a cause that will take his life, and the lives of many of his men. The film is made by an independent cameraman who travelled with the Liberian rebels, some of them from Sierra Leone, coming under fire on many occasions and witnessing and filming executions and cannibalism.
