The Devil Came by Horseback (2007)
Should I see it?
Yes.


The title comes from the name of the Arab death sqauds in Darfur, "Janjaweed," which means "devil on horseback. The Janjaweed have committed genocide while the world sits on its hands. Former marine turned photo journalist Brian Steidle was there and had incredible access because of his role as military observer. Disturbed by the horrors playing out in front of him and the utter lack of action on behalf of the international community to do anything to stop the killing, Steidle tells the story of this genocide.

This is a stunning documentary that will surely devastate most viewers. It is gut wrenching to even conceive these types of atrocities happen in this world. This is not a film for the weak stomached to be sure. It is a striking film and I highly recommend it.
