Synopsis
Acting
Shelter in Place with Shane Smith
VICE founder Shane Smith hosts a series of chats with experts, thought leaders and political figures.
VICE Special Report: Fixing the System
Along with the trip to an Oklahoma federal prison with Obama, Fixing the System takes an in-depth look at all the interlocking pieces of the complicated criminal justice system, from prisoners and their families to the judiciary and community reformers.
The Cannibal Warlords of Liberia
Vice travels to West Africa to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14 years of civil war. Despite the United Nation’s eventual intervention, most of Liberia’s young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust. America’s one and only foray into African colonialism is keeping a very uneasy peace indeed.
North Korean Labor Camps
Founder of VICE Shane Smith spends an eternity on a train and hops out at the end of the line in Siberia to investigate logging camps that use North Korean slave labor.
