In late 2006, former U.S. Marine captain Brian Steidle traveled to Darfur, Sudan, with the African Union peacekeeping force -- and found his life and perspective on the world forever changed. Devastated and racked with horror by the Janjaweed-driven genocide in the western region of the country (which has claimed 400,000 lives), Steidle set out to work against these atrocities -- atrocities systematically denied and publicly buried by the corrupt Sudanese government. Despite his initial hesitancies, Steidle ultimately agreed to plunge headfirst into the conflict -- and to work toward achieving social change not through violence but through peaceful, humanitarian efforts. His efforts carried him to a myriad of countries and multiple continents; throughout, Steidle took over 1,000 photographs to document the horrors, thus spreading awareness of this crisis to the remainder of the world and roundly defeating Sudanese governmental denials of the genocide. In their nonfiction work The Devil Came on Horseback, documentarians Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg bring viewers along with Steidle on his intensely moving personal journey, and shed light on a region of the world rapidly plunging into its own inescapable hell. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

New Review For Movie The Devil Came on Horseback
Filmmakers Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg chronicle his burgeoning activism in the face of the U.S. government's indifference as the government of Sudan works systematically to eradicate black Africans from the region.Joshua Katzman-Chicago Reader
The gripping documentary The Devil Came on Horseback traces the change of heart that compelled Steidle to break military discipline in 2005 and offer his secret photographic evidence of Sudan's vicious ethnic cleansing to the New York Times.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
The Devil Came on Horseback is a documentary account of Steidle's ongoing efforts to educate the world about the violence he witnessed as an unarmed military observer for the African Union in 2004.
John Monaghan-Detroit Free Press
On all counts, the co-directors of this persuasive documentary set the right tone.
Bill Stamets-Chicago Sun-Times
A dynamic, shockingly graphic story of the horrors of Darfur.
Tom Keogh-Seattle Times
With an estimated 400,000 dead since 2003, and 2.5 million Sudanese left homeless in the wake of the genocide, ignoring the story doesn't seem like a humane option.
Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune
This documentary stares truth in the face in more ways than one.
Jeffrey Chen-ReelTalk Movie Reviews
To balance the chilling reality of the powerful having their unabated way with the miserably weak, the faces of carefree children mugging into the camera is a welcome balm on the wounds of systemic depravity.
S. James Wegg-JWR
Clumsy filmmaking and political analysis do not detract from the horror of the events the film bears witness too, nor the importance of its message.
Sam Jordison-Film4
The Devil Came On Horseback sets out to shock. The images caught by Steidle's camera will stay with you long after his personal story - given too much time in relation to events - has faded from memory.
Matt McNally-BBC
Steidle's documentary evidence - shot where no journalist can set foot - makes for grim viewing.
Tim Evans-Sky Movies
A decent attempt at outling the crises but crucially lacking much depth.
Owen Williams-Empire Magazine
Powerful, impressively directed and desperately moving documentary that highlights one of the world's most vicious injustices and the shocking refusal of Western governments to do anything about it.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
This documentary tells us two things. It's very bad in the Darfur region of the Sudan and the U.S. isn't doing a damned thing to stop the genocide there.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
Gripping, heartfelt and eye-opening film.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
we feel Steidle's inner turmoil as he cries uncontrollably at the thought of the genocide he was powerless to prevent
Marlow Stern-Manhattan Movie Magazine
In a way, "Devil" is two horror stories, the first is what Steidle saw in Darfur, the second what he saw when he left.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
When you see a hero like Steidle feeling guilty because he couldn't do more -- well, it's hard to feel anything but admiration for him and the movie.
Eric D. Snider-EricDSnider.com
The collection of images that make up the first forty-odd minutes of the film are among the most horrifying I have seen in all my life.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
The film's approach suits an audience broader than the usual documentary crowd, though it's worth mentioning that those pictures can really stay with you.
Marrit Ingman-Austin Chronicle
Directors Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg have found an impressive protagonist in Steidle, but they would have done better to expand the scope of the documentary beyond his personal recollections.
Andy Spletzer-Seattle Post-Intelligencer
