This documentary traces the history of Liberia from hopeful beginnings in 1821 to poverty and despair. Founded in West Africa by free American blacks, Liberia's indigenous peoples and colonizers endured decades of tension that erupted into tribal war. Using interviews, archival materials, and footage shot on location, Liberian film-maker Nancee Oku Bright offers a searing look at a shattered land in LIBERIA: AMERICA'S STEPCHILD.
