A cast of unknown performers are used in this drama about child soldiers fighting a war in an unnamed African country.
WOW. The most powerful film I've seen in years. BRUTAL. It's jaw-dropping from start to finish. An amazingly well directed, shot and edited piece of cinema. At times it becomes a surrealist nightmare with these child soldiers, one in a wedding dress, one with butterfly wings skulking around committing any crime of their choosing and taking on a warped, music video feel. This is a look at child soldiers as you've never imagined it before.
There is even a mashed up rap-remix track of the famed Battles 'Leyendecker' by DJ EMZ running in the background at one point.
