VICE on HBO Series Finale: The Forgotten War

June 13, 2014 @ 11:00 pm

For the second part of the VICE season two finale on HBO, "The Forgotten War", VICE correspondent Ben Anderson travels to Sudanese refugee camps in Chad to examine the effects of lagging international attention, then to Sudan, where rebels are poised for civil war.

"The Forgotten War" episode description: A decade ago, the crisis in Darfur was a cause celebre. American politicians, activists, and celebrities took to the media to condemn Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for his brutal genocide, and to send out a call for justice and aid for his victims. Yet today, world attention has waned, despite the fact that President Bashir remains in power. People continue to die and millions of refugees remain in overburdened camps filled with malnourished children. Without sufficient aid from the international community, Sudanese rebel groups are stepping in to fight for justince on their own terms. Ben Anderson goes to the refugee camps in Chad and Sudan to meet the victims the world has forgotten, and the rebels poised for civil war.

Also in the episode, Vikram Gandhi visits Camden, New Jersey, where two-thirds of the crime-ridden city are under constant military-grade surveillance.

The episode airs at 11pm Friday June 13, 2014 on HBO East. Streaming on HBO GO and On Demand are available starting on June 14, 2014.
