Liberian Government vs. Mads Brügger

As Drafthouse films prepares to distribute The Ambassador to North American audiences, Mads  Brügger's documentary has been a hit on the festival circuit and has it's share of controversy on the way.  The Ambassador is act of guerrilla journalism that makes Sasha Baron Cohen and Michael Moore look like filmmakers afraid to take risks. (This sort of extreme filmmaking is, naturally, funded by Lars Von Trier's production house, Zentropa.)   Brügger pays a lot of money to shady international business men types for grey-market diplomatic credentials so he can export blood diamonds out of the Central African Republic.  He captures a lot of folks on camera (either hidden micro-cameras, his cellular phone, or his Canon 5D) that would prefer to remain anonymous and not every character in the film is alive by the time the film was done.  It's a bravura blend of documenting and activism that is hard to understand how much is staged and how much is real.
