Watch The Cannibal Warlords of Liberia For Free
The Cannibal Warlords of Liberia
Vice travels to West Africa to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14 years of civil war. Despite the United Nation’s eventual intervention, most of Liberia’s young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust. America’s one and only foray into African colonialism is keeping a very uneasy peace indeed.

Reviews
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
