The Vice Guide to Liberia

This web series is not for the faint of heart. The images and words obtained are both graphic and haunting. Regardless, the subject matter deserves the attention that Shane Smith and crew have given to it .

“In The Vice Guide To Liberia, VBS travels to the capital city Monrovia to meet three men who participated in the 14 years of civil war that ravaged the West African country.”

More info and full series episodes available via VBS.TV.

This video was created using clips filmed with a digital camera (Canon G10), so please excuse the quality.

The song is Ribbons by Four Tet, a fantastic electronic musician from the UK.
