The 10 years of a bloody and gruesome civil war officially ended in 2002. It left 75,000 dead and 20,000 physically challenged and thousands of lost child soldiers. It was declared the poorest country in the world. Sierra Leone has a population of nearly 6 million. 70% live below the poverty line. 62% live in rural areas and barely survive on virtually nothing. The population is divided between Muslims and Christians. Official languages are English and Krio. Today the capital Freetown still has no electricity. The rich have generators: the poor make do with small kerosene lamps for lighting.

I hate the reference to religion: Muslim and Christian. It is Western focused way of reporting. Sierra Leoneans have never had issues with diference in religion. That focus was needless. The rest of the documentary is good.

inspiring - there's a lesson here for all African and Caribbean countries to lessen their dependence on fossil fuels.

Very impressive...The Sierra Leone government should adopt such project with focus on the rural areas.

How can a country be so small and poor. We sierra leoneans need to unite and help our dying country. We cannot rely on the white man anymore they rob and steal and spread lies. Stop the violence and tribe haterd. Sierra leone unite
