A young fighter leads his fellow child soldiers on a campaign to liberate vulnerable people across their war-ravaged African country.
After all the grownups in a rebel group are killed in battle, the young surviving warriors take on the monsters who created them in a gallant effort to cure the ills of their dangerous and harsh world. This, even as they retain some universal traits and dreams of childhood.
Led by Imbiku, a guerrilla barely into adolescence, what starts as a few dozen rebels threatens to become a brigade and then an army, outdueling opponents with wits and daring gleaned from brutal battlefield experience.
A realistic, violent, yet heroic and even inspiring story, that could be both a crowd-pleaser and prestige piece.
