DEVIL CAME ON HORSEBACK ICA CINEMA 2 Winner: Jury Prize, Best International Documentary, BRITDOC. The Devil Came on Horseback follows the journey of former US Marine Captain Brian Steidle, who goes to Sudan as an unarmed military observer for the African Union. Used to carrying a gun, here he has only his still camera with which to document the atrocities he witnesses in Darfur. Eventually his frustration with the international community's inaction leads him to resign, and on his return to the US he releases his images to the New York Times, creating a media frenzy and completing his transformation from soldier to observer to human rights activist.
