The documentary is informative on Gaddafi's dictatorship but is misleading in insinuating that he completely run down his country. Libya was rich and the citizens enjoyed free services and a tax-=free regime under Gaddafi.

[SigmaLarper]

Wasn’t perfect (no one is) but the country was way better off with him. It’s a failed state now.

. . . . . . I was in Libya from March 1983 to March 1986. I worked with Arabian Gulf Oil Company (AGOCO) on the richest oil field in Libya. Libya was the best country I've ever lived. Rest well great leader, till we all see you there someday!😢😢😢😢

[flashymerty]

He was killed because he was gonna drop the US Dollar he wanted to create an African central bank to help African counties in developing and create a single currency (Gold) but this would impoverished other countries in particular USA Health care was free education was free when a woman gave birth to a child she received $5000 they was no homeless people during his system everyone had good houses Libya was one of the richest country during his regime

[bed]

The US needed to save Libya from becoming too wealthy and fiscally independant.

[youtubecentric]

I know non-Arabian former residents of Tripoli who stated that he was a great man who did many good things for his people.

[cesardejeronimo]

We can criticize these dictators, but in many cases this type of ruling was necessary for the region to keep it in line. Gaddafi correctly predicted what would happen to Europe should he be taken out of power. Over the years I've come to believe that certain leadership styles are necessary until societies can develop past them. For example, you cannot force democracy onto a society until they are able to maintain civility without government by themselves.

[MilutinVasic]

His wife Safia Farkash is actually from the former SFR Yugoslavia, from Mostar. She has both Muslim and Hungarian descent, she worked in the Military-medical Academy in Belgrade as a nurse. Muammar went there for a surgery of apendics and that's when they met each other and fell in love with each other, and not long after that, he conviced her to resign from Academy and went with him to Libya, they married, got 7 children, adopted 2 more and they stayed together until the end of his life, she, their dauther Aysha and sons Hannibal and Mohammad (he was her stepson, son of Fatiha Al-Nurri, Muammar's first wife) fled to Algeria and later Oman, where they are today!

[acramful]

Libya was one of the greatest countries in the world in Gaddafi's era, schools and electricity and water and health insurance were for free and full of jobs even Europeans and Americans were coming to Libya to work to have better life .

[PhantomEagle..]

I'm getting the popcorn bucket for this comment section 🍿

[taharkamusic]

No mention of uniting Africa and wanting the African union to do resource based trading which would have shaken up the world economy. The gold standard would have been brought back.

[A.H.M.K]

Ever since his death libya hasn’t been doing well

[josephbrown]

Libya had one of the greatest leaders of all times in Muammar Gaddafi. Free healthcare free education for all citizens no homeless people trying to create the United States of Africa and creating an new currency got him killed!!!

[arafsadventures]

I lived i Libya for 13 years, I will never forget it

[edin.]

The documentary presents only some facts that could be interpreted as negative for Gadaffi, however, all other facts about economic progress, development, construction, exports, etc., are left out on purpose.

The documentary was deliberately made to challenge the deeds and work of Gaddafi.

[kitsobanda]

Gaddafi was a hero to us African people until blood suckers took his life away.

[stevemace]

The one lesson he taught us was never give up nukes!

[redutlegalized]

Watched it another time. Agree with the guys, sounds like issued from US State Department directly. Especially everyghing about poverty and economical troubles of Libya, corruption under Gaddafi. It was a thriving country, western-paid terrorists from countries around destroyed it.
