I loved his courageous reports on "The 90s." Whatever happened to Andrew? What's he doing now?

[MediaBurnArchive]

Andrew's work is definitely among the best in our collection. Unfortunately, we don't know how to contact him any more. Last we heard he was in South Africa.

@MediaBurnArchive Do you have more videos from Andrew?

[MediaBurnArchive]

@amaddb04 On our website (link in video description) we have over 30 hours of Andrew's work streaming. We also have two other short clips of his on our YouTube channel... just search his name.

@shadowhunter388 *clarifying* I wanted to leave this as a Private message (not so much for you but for me cause this is painful) but either i can't leave you a message without subscribing or i don't know how to work youtube.(possibly both) my point is. people have been lied to and brainwashed and the only proof i have of what i know to be true is my own life and experience. I have seen both sides. neither is pretty.

@Belo118 No I do not have problems comprehending English, he just made them sound bad which was the reason why I asked because I didn't know. Well in the very beginning anyways. I asked if they were bad as in did the country do something bad to go into war.

[Belo118]

@superdog797 Are you Paying Attention? he's Narrating what happened... OMG! Really??

[Belo118]

@shadowhunter388 No, actually if you were to try and put yourself in a situation in which you wake up to bombs more than likely you are gonna be on your feet about EVERYONE... he ran right to the fire like LITERALLY, is not that they PDF are bad guys, they're just guys, that find themselves in the middle of war and they help him to safety. I might come off as rude but, do you have problems comprehending English?
