Liberia: The Secret War, 1998
Dir: Alexandre Trudeau, Booker Sim & Malcolm Hearn | JuJu Films
The NFB funded LIBERIA: THE SECRET WAR premiered to a sold out crowd at the international Vues D’Afriques film festival, where it took the Prix Telequebec, screened at the Vancouver International Film Festival, the NFB, and has been used to teach post-colonial studies at the university level. It was my first documentary project.
Captured during the filming of the documentary, this photograph—which I took during production—offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the project. It was later published in Dangerous Emotions (2000) by Alphonso Lingis.
