I have been a fan of Viceland for years now, initially just checking out their do's and don'ts which are sometimes really funny. But over the last couple of months I've heard a lot of buzz about VBS.TV, Viceland's broadcast station.
Last week a friend (thanks Dave) pointed me in the direction of a documentary on VBS about Liberia. I watched it in installments, as they were released, and was blown away. It was fearless, wide open, journalism and the topic was riveting.....if morbid and hugely depressing.
I have been talking up VBS and this documentary since (Vice Guide to Liberia). Today I saw an article on CNN about VBS and their documentary work with a particular focus on a piece they did on North Korea. The journalist is the same guy that did the Liberia piece. Awesome that this guy, whose work blew me away, is now getting international recognition through CNN. I haven't seen the North Korea piece but I am sure it's incredible.
Check it out: http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/02/08/vbs.north.korea/index.html?hpt=C1
And if anyone ever reads this blog I'd love to hear some comments and reactions to the Liberia piece and this guys work in general.
