The Redemption of General Butt Naked

Joshua Milton Blahyi –aka General Butt Naked --was a ruthless and feared warlord during Liberia's 14-year civil war. Today, he has renounced his violent past and reinvented himself as a Christian evangelist on a journey of self-proclaimed transformation. Blahyi travels the nation of Liberia as a preacher, seeking out those he once victimized in search of an uncertain forgiveness. But in the end, are some crimes beyond the pale of forgiveness? The film forces us to question the very nature of what true, meaningful reconciliation looks like in a country where justice has not been available. Winner of the 2011 Sundance Cinematography Award.
