Sierra Leone: 10 years after the war

Description

A decade after Sierra Leone's civil war, former persecutors and their victims are learning to live together. To escape the fighting, a third of the population had fled to Freetown. Today, more than one million people live there, most of them in slums, where a cholera epidemic is claiming more victims every day.
