Global Development Matters Movie Night: The Redemption of General Butt Naked

Joshua Milton Blahyi - also known as General Butt Naked - was a ruthless and feared warlord during Liberia's first civil war who was known for his use of child soldiers and his fondness for fighting in nothing more than his boots and his AK-47. This film follows his transformation to an evangelist preacher and his five-year, nation-wide quest for forgiveness from the people he victimized.
