“You gonna die today white boy, Krahn are gonna eat out your heart”. Nothing like encouragement from locals to keep a news Cameraman on his toes. I was stranded in no man’s land - that murky dead zone between sides in a war. After letting one army pull back in retreat, and while waiting for the other side to arrive, I was getting some lip from refugees. Living right on the edge to get a TV news assignment done in the madness, mayhem, blood and bullets of a wild West African war zone. Making sense of Monrovia going haywire. Journalism at the extreme.
Being in the eye of the storm is sometimes the safest place to be. “Bad Man’s Corner” is a story by a frontline Cameraman risking all to chase down news for worldwide broadcast, and try stay alive and sane at the same time. It gives an on the ground, in the moment insight into gathering combat footage. Covering Liberia during the civil war as an International Journalist, you had to go the extra mile. Facing danger daily in the street battles, gun fights & shifting front lines of a city at war. © AP / Alistair Lyne. 2015.
