 Amazing, heartbreaking doc. March 30, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
It's a travesty that this film didn't get a huge distribution. I was fortunate to see it at the Seattle International Film Festival with a full house of movie-goers who were as dumbfounded as I as to why it wouldn't be playing in theaters across America. It's a well produced and directed film which deftly illustrates the experience of an ex-Marine who is thrust into the genocide in Darfur with no permission of any kind to intervene in the killings he documents around him. His mounting frustration takes him on a journey to spread the word about the genocide to anyone willing to listen. The determination and compassion of Brian Striedle is evident in this harrowing documentary which is a must see for anyone who wishes to be well informed about Darfur.
A striking addition to any film library strong in African history and society. March 4, 2008

The 2007 world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, THE DEVIL CAME ON HORSEBACK offers up an analysis and expose of the genocide in Darfur as seen through the eyes of a former U.S. Marine Captain who served as an unarmed military observer with the African Union. His photos and first-hand observations provides a wild ride into the heart of Darfur society, politics, and social issues and will prove a striking addition to any film library strong in African history and society.

A great documentary for anyone who wants to know more about the Darfur Genocide. My students really loved it.
 Dressed-up isolationism January 3, 2008

Just another adrenalin junky with a death wish stuffed into a Christ complex. Out to save the world and soak up some highly publicized "me" time. And what is this about stopping genocide from ever happening again? True, we could have gotten off our backsides and actually done something to put an end to the ethnic cleansing that continues in Darfur, but stopping the possibility? Is he talking about a police state? How is living in a police state going to help the victims' frame of mind? You need to go in and kill the peeps in power, and a volunteer relief fund will get you there in about 7,000 light years. Then there's the barely mentioned fact that the United States is actually helping to fund this genocide. Think about that one, pimply, puss-filled McDonald's slaves.

What a powerful reminder of the destructive force of evil; the devil is real! That evil was personified by the destructive forces of Muslim raiders on horseback and their leaders in Sudan was totally expected. But sitting-by and the culpable inaction by Western leaders, including the US Government, gives another face to the manifestation of evil. One flaw in the DVD is the lack of any hope that the Darful situation can be or will be resolved. We must be relentless in our pursuit of positive solutions.
