Annotated Bibliography 5

            The movie, “The Devil Came on Horseback,” a documentary of the time Brian Steidle spends in Sudan, directly portrays the issues in Sudan, namely Darfur through pictures and video clips, accompanied by commentary by Brian himself. Taking a direct approach to announcing the issues, this documentary not only speaks of history of the continuing issue but it portrays it in a raw light the government seeks to avoid.             Within this documentary, the audience can conclude that there is undoubtedly an extreme issue of malnutrition, relocation and violence. Those who claim to be naïve cannot be after watching this piece. The heartache Steidle’s photographs emphasize and the raw truth he explains is enough to capture the audience, draw them in and cause their jaws to drop.            This piece is really helpful in my research for three reasons:  it captivates my interest in continuing my research on Darfur, Sudan, causing me to WANT to research, it provides an immense amount of background knowledge and it also shows the current steps the United States is making in order to end the violence.
