One of the best films i've seen in Sundance the past 4 years I've been attending. This is the first movie I've seen that focuses on the issue of child abduction for military rebel training in Africa. It paints a truthful picture of what rebel recruited children went through, what the family left behind went through and how a country can recover from such a conflict. It showed how the blame can't be placed on the children for committing horrible acts of violence since they are forced to at gunpoint.
Western influence has spawned these conflicts through a demand of diamonds or oil, causing warlords to fight, or recruit children to fight for them, for personal wealth. There are many GREAT issues from all perspectives. It is very realistic because it felt like I was being shot at in the movie theater. The movie is done in a flashback style which adds to the intensity of an already heavy film. I felt exhausted after leaving the film because of all I had experienced throughout the film. More films should deal with issues like these. A comparable film I saw during sundance was "War Dance", a documentary about young children from northern Uganda. some of these children were abducted or had family killed by the rebels.
