Was Muammar Gaddafi a monstrous dictator or a martyr for the panafrican cause? This video tells the story of his life, from a rural camel herder to Libya's revolutionary leader. It looks at foreign policy, government structures, and development projects. It also covers his own brutal demise. Martyr or monster... or perhaps both?
