The Bloody Violence Of Charles Taylor's Cannibal Soldiers
The Cannibals' War (1996): As the trial of former Liberian dictator Charles Taylor begins, we bring back an exclusive report exposing the atrocities committed by Taylor's men. Filmed in the middle of the civil war, it includes footage of Taylor's supporters preparing to eat a human heart and a rare interview with Taylor. For downloads and more information visit http://journeyman.tv/9809/short-films/the-cannibals-war.html Our film opens with gigantic US military helicopters hovering over Monrovia. The crackle of Kalashnikovs, 'Liberian music', echoes around the empty streets. This is a city with no laws of humanity as we know them. We discover a band of teenage NPFL fighters at a roadblock. Dead bodies lie at their feet, their chests sliced open from top to bottom, in the style of an African voodoo sacrifice. A boy brandishes a bucket, from which he proudly pulls a human heart. 'If I find my enemy I eat him', he boasts. 'But I only eat military men, not civilians. I am a human being after all.' Some fighters believe that by eating an enemy you get his power. Charles Taylor sums up: 'We have heard of outright cannibalism but this is an issue of war. There is no civilised war. Death is death.' For now the peace is holding. The UN are disarming troops on the streets. The market in Monrovia is full of people once again. But many think that Liberia's young cannibals have gone too far: a doctor prophesies disaster when they become the future leaders.

Charles Taylor Lecture: Master Narratives of Modernity
For more on this event, visit: http://bit.ly/165ztRR For more on the Berkley Center, visit: http://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu October 21, 2008 | World-renowned philosopher Charles Taylor explored the master narratives of modernity -- sound in some respects, but questionable in others -- that provide the matrix within which secularization theories have been advanced. This was the first of the 2008 Berkley Center lectures on the topic "Narratives of Secularity." The lectures surveyed the master narratives which have underpinned secularization, explored more adequate ones, and hazarded a picture of the present predicament of religion and spirituality in the West. Charles Taylor is one of the world's leading scholars working at the intersection of religion, secularity, and modernity. A philosopher open to other humanities and social science disciplines, he has authored many path-breaking books, including The Sources of the Self (1992), Multiculturalism: Examining the Politics of Recognition (1994) and, most recently, A Secular Age (2007). Taylor was for many years Professor for Political Sciences and Philosophy at the McGill University in Montreal, Canada, where he now serves as professor emeritus. He was awarded the Templeton Prize in 2007.
