The Devil Came on Horseback
An up-close, honest, and uncompromising look at the crisis in Darfur, The Devil Came on Horseback exposes this on-going tragedy 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 Dafur, 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. Unprepared 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
destroyed.
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.
