You rarely find a film based on real life events that is set in this time period, the late 1990s. This one definitely provides a breath of fresh air for film lovers, as well as enlightening people to the situations that were and still are taking place in Africa. You almost forget about the real life element of the film, though, because of how breathtakingly well made it is. It becomes quite disturbing in scenes that show the rebel gangs killing innocent people, with the realism adding to the effectiveness. Among the destruction, comes a heartbreaking story of a man's quest to find his son, and escape from the dreadful conditions that his family are living in. This part was performed very well by Djimon Hounsou.
