By his own account, his troops have killed 20,000 people in the Liberian civil war under his command. The name “General Butt Naked” was bestowed on him because he stripped down whenever he entered a fight – this way, he considered himself invincible. However, Joshua Milton Blahyi claims he has quit that life for good. He has become an evangelical cleric today. He now preaches charity with the same zeal he used to have for murder. Indeed, he also acts on his words: Blahyi seeks out the bereaved who mourn his victims and asks for forgiveness. Riveting documentary film about a transformation from Saul to Paul.
