The Cannibal Generals of Liberia

Full length now on YouTube: http://bit.ly/Liberia-Full-LengthCannibalism, murder and rape are just a part of everyday life in certain regions of Liberia. Despite the United Nation's eventual intervention, most of this country's young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. In 2009, we went to Liberia to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14 years of civil war. UPDATE: Charles G. Taylor, former President of Liberia and warlord, has been convicted by an international tribunal of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including rape, murder, and the use of child soldiers. He is the first head of state to be found guilty by an international court since the Nuremberg trials.Hosted by Shane Smith | Originally released in 2009 at http://vice.comMore from Shane Smith: http://www.vice.com/author/shane-smithFollow Shane on Twitter: https://twitter.com/shanesmith30Produced by Andy CapperFollow Andy at http://twitter.com/andycapperSubscribe for videos that are actually good: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICECheck out our full video catalog: http://www.youtube.com/user/vice/videosVideos, daily editorial and more: http://vice.comLike VICE on Facebook: http://fb.com/viceFollow VICE on Twitter: http://twitter.com/viceRead our tumblr: http://vicemag.tumblr.com
