The People Are Not Happy / Man Dem Nor Glady’o

Sierra Leone 2006

Although peace has now come to Sierra Leone after a 12-year civil war, many of the root causes to the confl ict still remain: poverty, corruption, poor sanitation and bad governance. Ishmahil Blagrove, Jr. speaks to the key players in the country’s future and questions whether or not this peace can really last. The documentary is a graphic view of Sierra Leone from the inside. It destroys the Western notion of “Blood Diamonds” and exposes how the mineral wealth of this poor West African country is being exploited by foreigners and corrupt politicians.
