South Sudan: Country of Dreams

Mon., April 13, at 10 pm ET, Fault Lines examines how the US helped create the world’s newest nation, then saw it fail

South Sudan is less than four years old, but the world’s newest nation now tops the ranks of failed states worldwide.

Thousands of people have been killed and almost two million displaced in a civil conflict that erupted in late 2013. 

Fault Lines investigates how a select group of U.S. politicians and advocates shepherded the nation into existence—and asks what responsibility they now bear for the political and humanitarian disaster unfolding there.
