STORY HIGHLIGHTS
* Crew of three gets firsthand look at poverty, substance abuse in war-ravaged Liberia
* Women at local brothel tell of beatings by U.N. soldiers, child prostitution
* An ex-warlord who claims to have killed babies, cannibalized victims guides crew
Since 1989, a series of brutal civil wars -- primarily fought by drug-addicted, prepubescent orphans -- has rendered Liberia one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Everyone has heard the stories of abject poverty, ubiquitous substance abuse and wanton violence taking place there, but we don't really believe anything that we don't see for ourselves. So, stomachs firmly knotted, off we went.
Our first shooting location was the West Point slum, home to 80,000 people living in conditions that redefine squalor. Miles of rotting garbage surround the slum, which has no sewage system. Pretty much everyone -- even the local government officials -- defecates and urinates in the open. Drugs, prostitution and armed robbery are the main industries. We got to know some of the residents of West Point, who told us their stories as they smoked heroin and cocaine and begged us for money.
Next we visited a local brothel. The women who lived there talked with us about the U.N. soldiers who have sex with the child prostitutes and beat the older women, and then leave without paying.

Of course, the U.N. is there running drugs, child prostitution and human trafficking rings, while the Pentagon supplies weapons and funds fake revolutionary coups.
