The Devil Came on Horseback exposes the tragedy taking place in Darfur as seen through the eyes of an American witness who has since returned to the US to take action to stop it.

The film utilises exclusive photographs and first hand testimony of former US Marine Captain Brian Steidle, taking the viewer on an emotionally charged journey into the heart of Darfur, Sudan, where an Arab run government is systematically executing a plan to rid the province of its black African citizens.

As an official military observer, Steidle had access to parts of the country that no journalist could penetrate. He was unprepared for what he would witness and experience, including being fired upon, taken hostage, and being unable to intervene to save the lives of young children. Ultimately frustrated by the inaction of the international community, Steidle resigned and returned to the US to expose the images and stories of lives systematically destroyed.

This compelling film bears witness to unmentionable atrocities while celebrating the courage of a refugee community desperately trying to survive and poses the question:  Why has the West not taken more urgent action to stop genocide this time?

Directed, written and produced by award winning filmmakers Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern, THE DEVIL CAME ON HORSEBACK will leave you angry at the world's inaction on this humanitarian crisis.

The film features interviews with a Janjaweed defector, Darfurian refugees, and noted experts including: Nicholas Kristof (New York Times); John Prendergast (International Crisis Group); author Samantha Power; Chief Prosecutor Luis Ocampo (International Criminal Court); and Nobel prize winning writer and professor Elie Wiesel.
