The Devil Came On Horseback

A film by Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern

A witness to evil. A force for peace.

Using more than a thousand uncompromising and exclusive photographs taken by former US Marine Captain Brian Steidle during his role as a military observer with the African Union, The Devil Came on Horseback propels the viewer through the tragic impact of an Arab government bent on destroying its black African citizens.

As an official military observer, Steidle had access to parts of the country that no journalist could penetrate. He was unprepared for what he would witness and experience, including being fired upon, taken hostage, and being unable to intervene to save the lives of young children.
