In The Vice Guide To Liberia, VBS travels to the capital city Monrovia to meet three men who participated in the 14 years of civil war that ravaged the West African country.

Former warlords General Rambo, General Bin Laden and General Butt Naked give us guided tours of some of the most dangerous, impoverished areas including jails, brothels, and heroin dens. Despite the UN’s intervention in the country, the majority of Liberia’s young people live in desperate poverty. Surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution, the ex child soldiers who were forced into war struggle to fend for themselves by any means necessary. As the former President Charles Taylor fights accusations of mass war crimes in The Hague, the people strive for positive change against all odds. America’s one and only foray into African colonialism is keeping a very uneasy peace indeed.

Here to the episode 1 (of 8 available).

A PETA undercover investigator obtained footage in March 1999 of vicious elephant beatings at Carson & Barnes Circus. Tim Frisco, the circus’ animal care director and longtime elephant trainer, was caught on tape violently attacking, shocking with an electric prod, and screaming and cursing at endangered Asian elephants. Frisco is heard on the tape instructing other elephant trainers to hurt the elephants until they scream, “holler,” and run away; to use both hands to beat the elephants with a bullhook; and to sink the bullhook’s metal spike into their flesh and twist it back and forth until they scream in pain.
