Hot Docs is bringing Academy Award nominee and Emmy-winner Jonathan Starck
to Toronto for the Canadian premiere of his critically-acclaimed LIBERIA: AN
UNCIVIL WAR. The film will be screened at Doc Soup on Wednesday, January 12 at 7
p.m. at the Bloor Cinema (506 Bloor St. W.). Starck will attend for a
post-screening discussion.
LIBERIA: AN UNCIVIL WAR chronicles the final showdown of Liberia's
decade-long civil war. Facing the imminent capture of the capital city of
Morovia by a rebel army, controversial president Charles Taylor resigned in the
summer of 2003. Nevertheless, the battle raged on for weeks while the country
awaited the arrival of international peacekeepers.
Exclusive interviews with leaders from both sides and footage from the
front lines paint a gruesomely intimate portrait of the war, while situating it
in the larger political context.
LIBERIA: AN UNCIVIL WAR was awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 2004
International Documentary Filmfestival Amsterdam. The International Documentary
Association has also honoured co-directors Stark and Brabazon with a special
award for Courage Under Fire.
Individual Doc Soup tickets are $10 at the door. Admission is free for
students with valid ID, courtesy of The Toronto Star.
There is so many areas where humankind is in dire need to evolve.
