SIERRA LEONE'S WAR
DIAMONDS, CANNIBALS, CHILDREN WITH GUNS
a
TRENT HARRIS FILM
cannibal


The Revolutionary United Front (R.U.F.) slaughtered its way into Sierra Leone's capital of Freetown.  They murdered civilians, burned homes, and hacked off the limbs of innocent children.

edwinEdwin Koi did not hide from the approaching rebel army but instead grabbed his old video camera and went directly into the battle zone.  Three years later on a back street in his tiny West African country Koi gave his war tape to filmmaker Trent Harris and told him to "show the world".   Harris' documentary, which includes portions of Koi's remarkable tape, sheds some light on the dark past of Sierra Leone, a country cursed with vast diamond mines, child soldiers, and cannibal militias.

A note to journalists and travelers to Sierra Leone.  Contact Edwin Koi.  He is honest.  He has the heart of a lion and he seems to know just about everyone in his country.  Make him you guide.  Pay him well.  You will not regret it.  His phone number is 076-742-610.
