The Vice Guide to Liberia Part 8 of 8 | The Vice Guide to Travel | VBS.TV

Part 8 – Shane sums that shit up and asks a few good questions about the people’s blind faith in ex-murderer, Joshua Blahyi (who gives quite an eerie ‘the world is changing’ speech).

In all honesty I knew very little about Liberia before Vice set me about posting their documentary, but it’s clear this is a place that needs a lot more attention than it’s getting. The UN are planning to pull out just one year from now, leaving Liberia at a time when it still needs a great deal of help. Nearly 70% of the female population has been raped, there are guns and drugs everywhere and cannibalism is an every-day thing.

It’s been a good documentary and I’ve enjoyed following it’s course – until next time, Vice!

Watch here.
