Living in Liberia | How People Live in Africa's Forgotten American Nation | TRAVEL 4K

Discover Liberia — Africa's forgotten Lone Star Republic — in this stunning Travel 4K documentary experience.
Journey through Liberia's untouched rainforests, Atlantic surf beaches, and the extraordinary story of America's oldest African-born nation, filmed in cinematic Travel 4K.

This Travel 4K country documentary takes you deep into Liberia's Sapo National Park to meet the world's rarest pygmy hippos, along the surfing coast of Robertsport, into the pounding drums of the Poro secret society, and behind the extraordinary history of the 88 freed American slaves who crossed the Atlantic in 1822 to found Africa's first republic — half a century BEFORE America abolished slavery.

Meet Nobel Peace Prize winners Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Leymah Gbowee. Taste palm butter soup and jollof rice. Hear Hipco music echoing through Monrovia. Feel the warmth of "How da body?" — a Liberian greeting found nowhere else on Earth.
