Liberia - Fusion’s Liberia project is a fascinating docudrama about one man’s unrelenting quest to save as many lives as possible, as fast as possible, in Liberia by solving the horrendous water situation left from years of civil war. Fusion crews have made two trips to Liberia in 2014 and while every attempt was made to prepare logistics and security concerns for production in the world’s second poorest country and most corrupt country (according to the CIA fact book), the production was blind-sided by the massive Ebola outbreak which exploded in the international media while Fusion was in Liberia shooting. All Fusion personnel were able to leave the country safely after completing a total of 15 production days, some in designated Ebola hazard zones. The Ebola crisis has now become a significant part of the project’s story and was instrumental in the decision to expand the length of the documentary. Completion is scheduled for early 2015.
