The people over at VICE have started a broadband television network that broadcasts news and features with the usual mix of music, food, sex and journalism. However, in their recent travel programming, they've put up the Vice Guide to Liberia. Three VICE producers travel around the civil war ravaged country with a journalist to document the atrocities, warlords, slums, rampant drugs and instability of the country in a five-part series. The result is one of the most gritty, unfiltered and close-up depictions of a country that will most likely slide into another civil war after the UN peacekeepers leave next year.
