- Contents Summary
- Recording of Sierra Leonean victims of the RUF's mutilation campaign. The video features David Evans, an American who has volunteered to work with amputees in Sierra Leone—he himself is an amputee, having lost both his legs during a tour of duty in Vietnam. He points out the importance of a locally trained national staff to help the victims cope. It includes footage of amputees getting prosthetics and engaging in exercises designed to help them adjust to their new prosthetic limbs.
