"Brutal, Urgent, Devastating" Darfur Documentary "Demands To Be Seen"
Brutal, urgent, devastating -- the documentary "The Devil Came on Horseback" demands to be seen as soon as possible and by as many viewers as possible. An up-close, acutely painful call to action, the movie pivots on a young American, a former Marine captain named Brian Steidle, who for six months beginning in the fall of 2004 worked for the African Union as an unarmed monitor in Darfur. What he saw in Darfur was unspeakable. And then he returned home, his arms, heart and head filled with the images of the dead.
