VPRO Diogenes 1997 Liberia, The Promised Land

43:06 is a powerful scene. Doe coming into the meeting and disarming before speaking with Johnson. If only he knew..

This is a powerful documentary. But I feel it was unfinished and so many sections of the film left unanswered questions. Nevertheless I enjoyed the section on the Tolbert family in America, but I don’t know why they didn’t cover the history of the Tolberts in Liberia. Also what was that ridiculous dance called that President Tubman was leading in the beginning of film? Was that a 18th century minuet? Sad what happened to Liberia and the abandoned Ambassadors home in Washington D.C says it all. The interview with the ex child soldier was very informative along with the Johnson-Doe betrayal. I am convince however that coup was directed by rogue CIA officers in Carter Administration. Time Will Reveal the truth one day.
