[laughter] chase down an animal, kill it.

cycle of life. cut it into pieces. and throw it on a flame. >> hamid: so all these people are freedom fighters. uh, ex-freedom fighters. >> anthony: right. >> hamid: so just, uh, now, chilling, having fun, making barbecue. >> anthony: to start, they grill the lamb in small pieces with a few veggies. hamid: not beer, but something like it. >> anthony: yeah, i've been about a week without alcohol of any kind. and i'm enjoying my, my new clean living lifestyle. ah. >> hamid: uh, balls. >> anthony: balls, yeah. that's hospitality. i've said it before. i'll say it again. barbecue may not be the road to world peace, but it's a start. >> man: people in misrata, good. >> anthony: yeah. >> man: relax. >> anthony: yeah. laid back. in eng -- in american, laid back. >> man: lay back. >> anthony: a stew made of kidneys, liver, and heart,

served family-style. feel free to eat with hands. uh, right hand only, please. mmm. and a really traditional thing left over from the italians. basically, pasta with ragout. what's this dish called? >> hamid: beause in, when it's -- the sound bock-bock-bock, it mean it's ready. >> anthony: oh, yeah? >> hamid: yeah. >> anthony: mmm. it's good. so the italians left you one good thing. >> hamid: yeah. >> anthony: a few nice buildings and pasta. >> hamid: and pasta, yeah. >> anthony: so the story of misrata, the story of libya, seems to be ordinary people suddenly called upon to do extraordinary things. where were you when war broke out? >> doctor: i was in canada, in montreal. >> anthony: studying medicine? >> doctor: yes. >> anthony: she put her medical studies on hold to help tend all manner of horrible war injuries. what kind of procedures were you doing on a regular basis? >> doctor: oh, everything.

everything. without prior practice and knowledge. so you just, like, kind of in the situation trying to pick up things. >> anthony: how many, how many patients did you treat a day? >> doctor: 60, 70. >> anthony: 60, 70. >> doctor: it was, like, a lot. like, the whole for, like, the whole hospital was full. >> anthony: when you heard he'd been killed, what did you feel? >> doctor: ah -- >> anthony: when you heard he'd been killed, what did you feel? >> doctor: ah -- >> anthony: relief? doctor: i felt relieved. i was, like, realizing that, "okay, it's over." and trying to heal my own wounds. because in the middle of it, you just go, go, go. and you never realize how much injuries and trauma you get inside yourself. >> anthony: right. >> doctor: because before you never think of, like, we are going to survive and we are going to have a free libya or anything. it's just, like, going with the state of mind that, "i'm going to do my best and, uh, i'm ready in peace with myself if i die." and then you find yourself here now. it's like -- now it's the gray area. >> anthony: she risked her life along with the men. but traditional and high-bound rules of conduct do not allow her to sit with them during dinner.

she's relegated to, what might be called, the kids' table. what can one say, we who like to think of ourselves as more enlightened in this area? i don't know. rightly or wrongly, i said nothing. what does freedom mean? i don't know that either, i guess. for sure, it does mean the freedom to enjoy an afternoon no one thought possible only a little while ago. the freedom at least to joke, to laugh, to be for a while relatively carefree. >> man: misrata, libya. goodbye. sy for you to get your windshield fixed. >> teacher: let's turn in your science papers. >> tech vo: this teacher always puts her students first.

>> student: i did mine on volcanoes. >> teacher: you did?! oh, i can't wait to read it. >> tech vo: so when she had auto glass damage... she chose safelite. with safelite, she could see exactly when we'd be there. >> teacher: you must be pascal. >> tech: yes ma'am. >> tech vo: saving her time... [honk, honk] >> kids: bye! >> tech vo: ...so she can save the science project. >> kids: whoa! >> kids vo: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪ indulgent, delicious, irresistible., night; fancy feast makes delighting your cat delightfully easy. every recipe, every last detail. another fancy way to show your love. fancy feast. introducing savory centers. paté with a center of gravy! ♪ woo! vacation isn't about where you are, it's about how you see things. you just have to make home, the place you want to write home about. stella artois. summer like you're on vacation. ♪ for barcelona? we did promise we'd go.

>> anthony: the road to tripoli. a healthy breakfast. ooh. liver sandwich. when they talk about a high-risk environment, i think they were talking about this. that's good. halfway back to tripoli, the magnificent ruins of leptis magna. arguably the most intact remains of a roman city in the world. it's worth noting that at one time the emperor of all rome, was himself libyan. it's pretty amazing. born right here.

someone chipped off all their dicks. not that i was looking. anywhere else in the world, this place would be overrun with tourists. but, look. no one. you're free to wander as you wish. quite a backdrop, you know? if you're seeing a little dinner theater production of, uh, "our town" couple of thousand years ago. not bad. the only other visitors today are a troop of libyan boy scouts. bizarrely enough, gaddafi himself was once a scout. and this was one of the only organizations allowed to remain independent of the government. maybe i should go down there and introduce myself to my former comrades. exchange some boy scout lore. yes, yes. i was once a boy scout, too.

you know, it's been a really difficult shoot for a whole lot of reasons. it's not easy to shoot here. but, in spite of all that, for me this was a happy show. it's libya. they were supposed to be the bad guys. a bad country filled with bad people, right? i don't think so. i've met a lot of really nice people here. nobody's saying, "we're going to be perfect tomorrow." everybody seems to be saying, "you know, in five -- see us -- look at us in five years." which i think is a pretty reasonable attitude. >> man: how are you? >> anthony: we love you, libya. this is a place that's filled with a lot of extraordinary people who've done an extraordinary thing on very short notice, under very difficult circumstances, and at a very difficult time, who are

continuing to do the best they can. and i wish them well. >> anthony: pity the salary man. tokyo's willing cog in an enormous machine requiring long hours, low pay, total dedication. and sometimes, what's called karoshi, death by overwork. here in a society of tight spaces and many expectations, the pressure's on. to keep up appearances, to do what's expected. to not let the interior life become exterior. but at night, things are
