Correspondent Seyi Rhodes and director Alex Nott venture into the escalating civil war in Ivory Coast.
For four months the incumbent president, Laurent Gbagbo, had clung to
power despite losing to rival Alassane Outtara in the UN-backed
elections. On arrival, Rhodes and Nott find themselves stranded in the
commercial capital Abidjan, as both sides embark upon a bloody battle
for control. As thousands try to flee, roadblocks are set up all over
the city by Gbagbo supporters, who steal and kill at will. The
programme-makers are held at gunpoint, beaten up and robbed. Even when
the fighting is over the crew are attacked when visiting wounded people
in hospital.
