  • I was in Mali earlier this year shooting a documentary and stayed for about a month. Malians are some of then nicest most kind people I have ever come across on my journies. They go so far out of their way to help anyone in need or for even a small kind gesture.

    When I was there a leader of a village told me about a story about an incident a few years back when a Russian military group was in town looking for Muslim extremists. They would go around every day for months rounding up men from the village and would shoot them and throw them in a pit and burn it. The leader told me how every morning they would wake up to gun shots and would have to ask around town to figure out who had been taken and killed that day.

    Was one of the most horrific stories I have ever heard from another human being.
