Audience Member An in depth character portrait of a war lord, exploring the boundaries of human forgiveness, exoneration and redemption. Filmed over five years, this is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Pulling no punches, "The Redemption of General Butt Naked" is proof that we should entertain discussion and challenge ourselves, but be able to maintain our morals and indignation. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member If you're expecting redemption in this movie, you'll be disappointed. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The repenting of General Buck Naked is fascinating. We clearly see a man who re-identifies himself after admitting to being responsible for 20,000 deaths. He "finds God" but it appears to be a conversion based on self preservation. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A powerful documentary that follows one of the most feared warlords of the Liberian Civil war on his long hard road of redemption and reconciliation following his conversion to Christianity. A life in the most extreme contrast you may ever see, and how Jesus Christ breaks into the heart of even the hardest and most brutal warlords. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Not really explicitly stated, except by one interviewee who finally calls "bullshit" on the "redemption", but watching the film you slowly come to realize that the warrior turned evangelist is still a bully who re-victimizes people by intimidating them into offering their forgiveness of his earlier atrocities and who cannot allow anything or anyone to be uncontrolled by himself. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
