I’ve been looking through old Vice documentaries. They’re some of the best journalism I’ve seen on TH-cam. Shane is one of the reasons why, he legit takes every opportunity possible for some sort of interview or inside info. Just like when he saw the rocket artillery in this video, he’s always willing to get good content. “Stop, stop, let’s go down there.” Great journalist.
Shane Smith is the billionaire co-founder of Vice. Suroosh Alvi who’s the other cofounder is also great correspondent. He did all of Vice’s Pakistani documentaries and the Gaza documentaries
Looking back now a decade later these documentaries from early 2010's VICE are some of the best snapshots of history ever documented through Guerilla Journalism in my honest opinion
@@harrylightfoot2004 God is sovereign, this is His house, He has power over life and death because He created all. Surely you don't believe you can kill others unrepentantly and live to see heaven?
Neon vice posted something on their Facebook a while ago like four years ago because Facebook was relevant back then that he died fighting in the front lines
HET-JHUTY SA RAH BIL he prevented it, not fight against it, he was smart enough not to, for this specific reason, he knew if he were to be killed he had to leave loopholes for corruption, an old but effective tactic used by tribal leaders, same with the people’s money, he drained it, sent it somewhere and had a lot of it burnt.
@@godalmighty3855 I don't know about that, but at least he prevented it. Libya is dead and don't look good at all. The real dictatorship is hidden behind the name democracy. We believe that we can choose our leaders because they offer us 3-4 alternatives, but if the truth comes out, the people have not chosen any of them. It is rather an offer not a choice. Some countries work better with a leader "dictator" others often have to change "several dictators" they call democracy. They destroyed the country because Gaddafi no longer wanted to dance with them.
there’s a difference between putting kids in a battlefield and keeping the kids OUT. kids have the choice in America, remember that our country, America, is great.
I was in Benghazi Libya in 1st grade, March 2012, woke up to jets thinking it was thunder. We were stuck there because we couldn’t get a flight out as ours was canceled. We were there for my grandfathers funeral. The first Eye doctor of Libya Nouri Queiri. I had little idea of what was going on and what my connection was to this country. My other grandfather was Saleh Buisir, former Foreign minister of Libya, killed by Israel when they attacked and shot down passanger flight 114 in the 70s. I wish to go back to Libya and help my country. I am a senior now and my college essay was based on Libya and my connections
For some reason, it seems strange hearing "Allahu Akbar" in a non-terroristic context. In a way, it makes me feel guilty that I've come to associate "Allahu Akbar" as a terrorist war cry. Little bit of a wake-up call, there
KING KONG lol except for now they have open slave markets and kill or enslave anyone they don’t think supports the cause. Qaddafi was the lesser of two evils
Do you know whats even more ironic? Sarkozy the french president at that time was supported financially by gaddafi during french presidental elections in 2007.
well one must remember that the yellow vest in France don't have any real revendications. And tgat the majority of French people disregard and frown upon the yellow vest mouvment as it is childish and useless...
What? The difference is that these people are literally fighting for their lives against a tyrannical dictator, in which France helped them by supplying weapons in order to make it a safer country (albeit failing). The Yellow Vest PROTESTS were legal protests, in which minor crimes were committed. Its one thing aiding rebels in another country, its another arresting your own people.
Crazy how Shane Smith, a billionaire, is the only good reporter his company ever had. Even though he’s worth so much he put his life on the line for a story
I'd say vice has quite a few good journalists, most of their foreign correspondents do excellent work and put their lives on the line to do so. Give credit where credit is due.

True brother...they really stupid n not understand enemy trap...poor leader ghadafi..he are good leader....i sure now Libyan people regrets what they do..
6:49 the pain in his eyes bro, i really aspire to become a journalist one day to uncover stories like this one in the future and bring justice to the people that are in need
Gadaffi wasn't a saint. But he was truly developing Libya with the oil they have and helping neighboring African nations. Yes still a petty dictator, but he was financing marriages, helping start up families, start up businesses, and having cheap transportation system and helping people get started with their livelihood. I think he was very pro libyans and wanted to be independently strong. MNCs hate strong nations running on their own talent, hence they create a hegelian dialectic and knock out Gadaffi to put their rapist oil companies and foreign mercenaries and talents into Libya. My prayers go out to the Libyans. Nations are ruining that nation
Watching this now in 2020 it's incredibly sad. These people have so much hope. As an American it's rare to see deceptions of people in the middle east in such a nuanced unbiased way. They're people just like everyone else, I could easily see myself becoming friends with many of the people interviewed in this. Today, all of these years later I can't help but wonder how many of these people have died from the countless factional wars that are still happening. Three days ago Tripoli was in another huge battle. It's unfortunate, all of that hope for the future. The kid who love's the miami heat, Captain Ali, the guy with one leg. All of them seemed genuinely hopeful for democracy, peace, and freedom but it's just as far away now as it was then.
*supports rebels that destabilize country into literal slave trade after years of prosperity* “oh i guess freedom peace and democracy are just as far away now as they were then” goofy asses
Looking back now, these types of Documentaries are some of the best that you don't get much more of these days. This is almost, if not, masterclass in journalism
I became a soldier at the age of 17 but I can't imagine what it's like fighting in such a war. They really got some balls. Sadly this all was for nothing... All the Libyans I've met here in germany wish Ghaddafi back. Yes he was a tyrant and a criminal but he brought relative safety. A stable Libyan state with a tyrant at the top is better than what became of Libya. Hussein, Ghaddafi and so on... They all were bad but now it's way worse without them.
It was simply haven. Why have democracy if the state does everything correctly? The americans can be cursed for what they've done to libya all to protect their holy dollar
@@dontaskme9459 for me i hated him since he killed my native tribe although he gave people what they wanted but i want to see libya become what king Idris and now libya is the fastest growing economy in the world fastest developing country fastest military growth in just 4 years and the dinar over threw the euro and being the strongest currency in Africa and Asia
love to come back and watch this incredible documentary from time to time, these people are patriots, risking death for freedom and better lives for themselves and their families, i hope those that survived made it somewhere better and are doing well
Thank you for these documentaries, I always like to see the opinions of the people and why they are fighting, how they are feeling, this is much more valuable than the information you see in the main stream media.
You don´t know what you have, until you lose it. Under Qaddafi, the Lybians enjoy the best life style in all the African continent, had the best healthcare, housing, education and economy. He was a man of many flows, but he not only cared for his own people, he helped all of Africa try to get out of their missery. It will take 100 years for Lybians to get back to the Qaddafi times.
@@dyedblack The revolution failed... They did win... But that was to be shortlived. That's why I feel sorry for all the Libyans who fought for the revolution
just imagine being a guy who lives there and trying not to get killed whilst there are so many fights everywhere. i'm really thankful that i dont live in that part of the world
@@fightinglaundry4534 I’m from Libya and I think gaddafi was a great leader for us but the way he reacted to protesters was wrong I think he told him self that they were militas,terrorists but facts are there were a lot of citizens, I also think Libyans should of just waited because life was good and he was getting old and his son saif gaddafi always talked about democracy next I think we should of let hin turn our country into a democracy after he resigns
it was good move Libya not the best country to live now but everthing is better people live well they destroyed isis and gaddafi and they get help from turkey theres freedom in libya now

I am heavy weapons guy and this is my weapon it weighs 150 kg and fires 200$ custom tooled cartriges at 10000rpm it costs 4000000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds
I know im late but bro you can literally see civilians taking up arms in the streets....hardly US mercenaries here. Not everything on this planet is American-centric. People outside of America aren't game NPCS and have their own agencies, agendas etc too
Its all under the fake guise of "Democracy". Look up General Wesley clark. He admitted the US wanted to topple 7 countries: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
But how do you know it’s Argentinian. Tbh it looks Moreno like a DSA (American company that makes clone fals). Hell it could be from Austria, Australia even Canada. Lot of people don’t realize how many fals have been made I think it’s the 3rd highest made platform behind the ak and m16. More than likely it’s an Israeli.
@AParadoxicalStatue It could be any weapon from any company, since Brazil make their own "Fal" from a factory named Imbel, using the same single type of ammunition, 7.62, since probably the entire South America Army is still using the "FAL 7.62", Brazil is replacing for a new type of weapon, developed in Brazil, called IA2 using now 5.56 and having a more modern and reliable weapon! Bolivia, Peru, Chile, their armys use the same weapons as Brazil does, the famous "FAL" or the "Parafal".
It is so surreal watching teenagers my age fighting for revolution in Libya. We live such a sheltered life in North America and Europe, and its so shitty how we don't appreciate the freedom that we have. Its sad that there is a possibility that these men and boys interviewed could possibly be dead, but when you see the optimism and enthusiasm they have for their fight, it almost makes it worth it. Thanks Vice, for another awesome documentary! :)

@S S Are you going to Rise up against Western propaganda because I'm not joining any side once a Revolution in the U.S starts
Well Kaddafi is gone but there is Hafter
6:49 the pain in his eyes bro, i really aspire to become a journalist one day to uncover stories like this one in the future and bring justice to the people that are in need
Gadaffi wasn't a saint. But he was truly developing Libya with the oil they have and helping neighboring African nations. Yes still a petty dictator, but he was financing marriages, helping start up families, start up businesses, and having cheap transportation system and helping people get started with their livelihood.
I think he was very pro libyans and wanted to be independently strong. MNCs hate strong nations running on their own talent, hence they create a hegelian dialectic and knock out Gadaffi to put their rapist oil companies and foreign mercenaries and talents into Libya.
My prayers go out to the Libyans. Nations are ruining that nation
thats what I'm saying bro
there could never be a leader better than him
@@militaryislam5184 keep crying bitch.
I love how nobody mentions how calm/brave the reporter is. I would never put myself in his situation.
Watching this now in 2020 it's incredibly sad. These people have so much hope. As an American it's rare to see deceptions of people in the middle east in such a nuanced unbiased way. They're people just like everyone else, I could easily see myself becoming friends with many of the people interviewed in this. Today, all of these years later I can't help but wonder how many of these people have died from the countless factional wars that are still happening. Three days ago Tripoli was in another huge battle. It's unfortunate, all of that hope for the future. The kid who love's the miami heat, Captain Ali, the guy with one leg. All of them seemed genuinely hopeful for democracy, peace, and freedom but it's just as far away now as it was then.
Funny how they have more guts holding people in power in check and responsible than Americans.
The blood of the innocent libyans will continue to hunt you and your generations
*supports rebels that destabilize country into literal slave trade after years of prosperity* “oh i guess freedom peace and democracy are just as far away now as they were then” goofy asses
Gaddaffi was right.
Democracy can never work in Libya end American imperialism
this type of vice is what sparked journalism for years to come

I became a soldier at the age of 17 but I can't imagine what it's like fighting in such a war. They really got some balls. Sadly this all was for nothing... All the Libyans I've met here in germany wish Ghaddafi back. Yes he was a tyrant and a criminal but he brought relative safety. A stable Libyan state with a tyrant at the top is better than what became of Libya. Hussein, Ghaddafi and so on... They all were bad but now it's way worse without them.
It was simply haven. Why have democracy if the state does everything correctly? The americans can be cursed for what they've done to libya all to protect their holy dollar
Libyans have different opinions about Gaddafi
this is really true we are regretting that he is died its the most worsted decision ever
Who do you think gave all the weapons to the opposition. Why do you think this video is all one sided. Who do you think this guy works for
@@dontaskme9459 for me i hated him since he killed my native tribe although he gave people what they wanted but i want to see libya become what king Idris and now libya is the fastest growing economy in the world fastest developing country fastest military growth in just 4 years and the dinar over threw the euro and being the strongest currency in Africa and Asia

love to come back and watch this incredible documentary from time to time, these people are patriots, risking death for freedom and better lives for themselves and their families, i hope those that survived made it somewhere better and are doing well

I've started to specifically look for the documentaries done by Shane Smith. Shane, please, do more documentaries.
Thank you for these documentaries, I always like to see the opinions of the people and why they are fighting, how they are feeling, this is much more valuable than the information you see in the main stream media.
That building manager sounded so devastated. I hope is alive and doing well
the building has been rebuilt i think, a few years back
You don´t know what you have, until you lose it. Under Qaddafi, the Lybians enjoy the best life style in all the African continent, had the best healthcare, housing, education and economy. He was a man of many flows, but he not only cared for his own people, he helped all of Africa try to get out of their missery. It will take 100 years for Lybians to get back to the Qaddafi times.
They lost a good man
indeed
we cant replace him forever
I’m not very informed on this, but what was the issue? Why did the people feel so appressed?
@@jaysverdict8108western propaganda

@@fightinglaundry4534 I’m from Libya and I think gaddafi was a great leader for us but the way he reacted to protesters was wrong I think he told him self that they were militas,terrorists but facts are there were a lot of citizens, I also think Libyans should of just waited because life was good and he was getting old and his son saif gaddafi always talked about democracy next I think we should of let hin turn our country into a democracy after he resigns
I love vice reporters.. going into the places that no one else wants to go to bring us real news
9 years have passed. How is life in Libya now? Was it a good move in the sense of the entire revolution?
very very very very bad move
it was good move Libya not the best country to live now but everthing is better people live well they destroyed isis and gaddafi and they get help from turkey theres freedom in libya now

17:27 it's an argentinian FAL. Rare place to find one.
I always thought it weird how many G3's Iran used in the Iran-Iraq war. Wahhh I want one too! :'(
But how do you know it’s Argentinian. Tbh it looks Moreno like a DSA (American company that makes clone fals). Hell it could be from Austria, Australia even Canada. Lot of people don’t realize how many fals have been made I think it’s the 3rd highest made platform behind the ak and m16. More than likely it’s an Israeli.
@AParadoxicalStatue It could be any weapon from any company, since Brazil make their own "Fal" from a factory named Imbel, using the same single type of ammunition, 7.62, since probably the entire South America Army is still using the "FAL 7.62", Brazil is replacing for a new type of weapon, developed in Brazil, called IA2 using now 5.56 and having a more modern and reliable weapon! Bolivia, Peru, Chile, their armys use the same weapons as Brazil does, the famous "FAL" or the "Parafal".
