  • VICE Founder Shane Smith takes you into the heart of the Libyan revolution, where the stakes are simple: victory or death. We head into rebel-controlled eastern Libya, traveling from the Egyptian border to Benghazi and then onto the front lines in Misrata to document the violent revolution.
    Hosted by Shane Smith | Originally aired in 2011 on VICE.com

    I’ve been looking through old Vice documentaries. They’re some of the best journalism I’ve seen on RUclips.
    Shane is one of the reasons why, he legit takes every opportunity possible for some sort of interview or inside info. Just like when he saw the rocket artillery in this video, he’s always willing to get good content. “Stop, stop, let’s go down there.”
    Great journalist.

All the Libyans I've met here in germany wish Ghaddafi back. Yes he was a tyrant and a criminal but he brought relative safety. A stable Libyan state with a tyrant at the top is better than what became of Libya. Hussein, Ghaddafi and so on... They all were bad but now it's way worse without them.

We believe that we can choose our leaders because they offer us 3-4 alternatives, but if the truth comes out, the people have not chosen any of them. It is rather an offer not a choice. Some countries work better with a leader "dictator" others often have to change "several dictators" they call democracy.

      What? The difference is that these people are literally fighting for their lives against a tyrannical dictator, in which France helped them by supplying weapons in order to make it a safer country (albeit failing). The Yellow Vest PROTESTS were legal protests, in which minor crimes were committed. Its one thing aiding rebels in another country, its another arresting your own people.

    Watching this now in 2020 it's incredibly sad. These people have so much hope. As an American it's rare to see deceptions of people in the middle east in such a nuanced unbiased way. They're people just like everyone else, I could easily see myself becoming friends with many of the people interviewed in this. Today, all of these years later I can't help but wonder how many of these people have died from the countless factional wars that are still happening. Three days ago Tripoli was in another huge battle. It's unfortunate, all of that hope for the future. The kid who love's the miami heat, Captain Ali, the guy with one leg. All of them seemed genuinely hopeful for democracy, peace, and freedom but it's just as far away now as it was then.
