A truly gritty and raw film about freedom fighters (or insurgent guerillas, depending on your point of view) in some unspecified African country. If you ever wondered how child soldiers can be recruited to some vague political cause, this film will explain it to you.
Right from the start, a group of irregular soldiers have overrun some poor village and are demanding valuables from the poeple and recuiting any boys they find to their group. Amid all the mayhem as they ransack the houses, we see a strange muscular man with carefully briaded hair quietly putting on a wedding dress. For a while it is not clear what is going on, but when he emerges into the action, a village woman cries out to him not to take her wedding ddress. But I suppose even guerilla fighters can be trannies.
He wears it throughout the film.
Top marks for realism, but it is a harrowing film to watch. The dialogue (if that is the right word) is slurred African English, and the film helpfully supplies English subtitles, without which it would be incomprehensible most of the time.
