VICE founder Shane Smith crosses into rebel-controlled eastern Libya during the 2011 uprising against Muammar Gaddafi, entering from the Egyptian border and working his way to Benghazi before reaching the front lines in Misrata. The footage is handheld and unpolished: checkpoints manned by armed volunteers rather than soldiers, streets in Benghazi charged with the energy of a city newly out from under decades of Gaddafi's rule, and the harder, slower violence of Misrata, where the war had settled into house-to-house fighting. Smith talks to rebel fighters with little military training and no clear command structure, capturing a movement that is improvising its way toward an army. There is no narrator smoothing over the confusion; the camera just follows Smith as he moves closer to combat, showing what a revolution looks like before it has a government, a strategy, or an ending. It is a dispatch from inside a war still being decided, not a retrospective account of how it turned out.
