"An outstanding film. It's superb, period." - Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times
An up-close, honest and uncompromising look at the crisis in Darfur,
The Devil Came on Horseback exposes the ongoing tragedy in Sudan as seen through the eyes of one American witness.
Using the exclusive photographs and first-hand testimony of former U.S. Marine Captain Brian Steidle, the film goes on an emotionally charged journey into the heart of Darfur, Sudan, where in 2004, Steidle became witness to a genocide that to date has claimed over 400,000 lives. As an official military observer, Steidle had access to parts of the country that no journalist could penetrate. Unprepred for what he would witness and experience, Steidle returned to the U.S. armed with his photographs, intent on exposing the images and stories of lives systematically estroyed.
A 2007 world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, this astonishingly propulsive and dramatic film from award-winning filmmakers Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern (
The Trials of Darryl Hunt) is a heartfelt account of what this particular American witness saw and, just as important, what he did afterward.
