Logs of War is the story of Silas Siakor, who risked everything to cut off warlord Charles Taylor from the timber trade that was helping fund Liberia’s 14-year civil war. It continues half a decade later when Siakor, winner of the world's most prestigious grassroots environmental award, the Goldman Prize, helps kick-start Liberia's economy through a sustainable logging industry.
