* At Lincoln Center's Furman Gallery during the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival - June 12-25
(New York) - Human Rights Watch today launches a new photographic exhibit, Long Story Bit by Bit: Liberia Retold. The show, featuring the work of award-winning journalist Tim Hetherington, opens on June 12, 2009, at Lincoln Center's Furman Gallery.
Long Story Bit by Bit: Liberia Retold explores the dynamics of power, international complicity, and the search for justice in recent Liberian history. Liberia's last three presidents have each faced a dramatic end - William Tolbert was disemboweled during a coup d'état, Samuel Doe was filmed being tortured to death, and Charles Taylor is standing trial for war crimes in The Hague. The exhibit tracks both the terrible years of war and corruption and the more hopeful present, as Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has taken charge of the country as Africa's first elected female head of state.

The events in Liberia remind me of the endless stream of dictators leading Haiti. One after the other they rise to power screaming their loyalty to the people. One by one they fall, as the corruption attacks each like a disease. Through it all, Haiti goes on and never stops to be one of the poorest nations on the planet, no matter who rules. The power NEVER reaches the real citizens of Haiti.
So too, Liberia. - 2 years ago
