Inside Sudan

2007 · 31 min

A grim, matter-of-fact plunge into a war zone, offering raw proximity to suffering rather than explanation or comfort.

Overview: "VICE travels to the most dangerous country in the world to figure out what the hell is happening in Darfur. In the video, Vice founder Shane Smith dons a djellaba and walks through the streets of Khartoum, visits a displaced persons camp filled with over 300,000 people and encounters the notorious SPLA (Sudan People Liberation Army)."
