Like "Shake Hands with the Devil", "The Devil Came on Horseback" is a documentary about one good man's encounter with African genocide.
In this case, the hero is former US marine Brian Steidle, who was involved in "monitoring" the peace process after the 20-year civil war in Sudan. For six months, Steidle witnessed the atrocities committed by the Jinjaweed, government-backed, -trained, and -armed muslim warriors who sacked, raped, mutilated, killed and burned their way through Darfur.
The film documents what Steidle saw, and his effort to make the US government do something about it, or to make the American people make their government do something. -
MCT:June 28, 2008If you didn't care before you certainly will now. Of course I like the idea and motif behind this documentary but it's just a bunch of information thrown at you with emotionally stunning pictures. Yes it is informative and yes it does arouse emotions but as a documentary it's nothing special despite the fact that the subject matter is. I could easily have seen this on National Geographic but that by no means means that you shouldn't see this documentary.

MCT:April 6, 2008An excellent, well-shot, and cautious documentary which has some truly shocking, and heart-wrenching, moments. It speaks powerfully not only about its own subject, but the conspicuous and utterly horrifying lack of attention it was given, all seen through intensely personal moments.
Easy to comprehend, but daunting to fully understand, this documentary has no answers, only emotions and images... and that is what makes it powerful. Like him, we are forced to sit and watch helplessly by the sidelines, and we can easily understand his frustration and pain. -

Brutally sad and shocking, but helped me to form a greater understanding about the conflict. Highly recommend to create an enlightened perspective on the Darfur genocide...another Rawanda?

MCT:January 23, 2008Thoroughly done and edited brilliantly. Definitely shows the level of atrocities and the lack of action by the west. A highlight of the film is when all the Arab Sudanese say how they don't think there is anything genocidal going on when Brian is giving his speech at the Holocaust Museum. Going...to hell...

if you want to know more about the situation in darfur this is a great place to start. told by a former marine who volunteered as an unarmed observer in sudan and witnessed all out genocide by the government backed janjaweed militia. it's as if we had the chance to redeem ourselves for rwanda and failed yet again. total respect to brian steidle who fought to get this story out and wake up the world to another ethnic cleansing. this is a horrific and very important film. if you want to see the face of evil, welcome to hell

I new very little about what Darfur was all about until I watched this documentary. It did a very good job of putting me into the shoes of Brian Steidle who also knew very little what he was getting into when he stayed in Darfur for 6 months. Along with showing Brian's point of view it also chronicles his struggles to get his message out. It worth a watch if you are into Docs or if you would like to know what is happening in Darfur.

This is a great movie for those that are deeply involved and interested in the difficulties in Darfur. Personally, I follow the history and current issues of genocide and suffering that Africa have endured, so I have great respect for those that try and capture the reality of the situation. It's not an easy thing to accomplish, and Brian is helpless with only a camera in hand. Inspiring for me to watch.

Really interesting, I knew very little about the details of this countries turmoil, and whether biased or not (obviously is in some way) I know a little taste. Well filmed, good interviews.

My Dad saw this at the HotDocs festival in Toronto in April, and it's still haunting him. I'm sure it's very good, but I'll just take his word for it.

Although very important, this documentary didn't have the impact I was expecting. The conflict in Darfur is very serious and needs to be resolved, but this does not do it extreme justice. The story's focus on one soldier's stay in the region needed to be spread out more.
