good and accurate

Rating: 7/10 (22 March 2017)

This movie does a very good job of showing the brutality of other countries and the way that they treat their children. Throughout the movie very little is held back in the sense of visually demonstrating the harsh conditions. As they follow agu on his journey not much seems unrealistic like in some movies where certain situations are blown up and made bigger than they could ever be in person. This is however not the case in this movie, the directors obviously did their homework and looked into real event similar to the one depicted in the movie. This situation does seem very similar to the "KONY 2012" situation that happened years ago. All the smaller details like the initiation of agu and what he was armed with and the conditions he faced when fighting were spot on compared to actual accounts of child soldiers in many third world countries. Overall this movie does a very good job at staying interesting as well as have many historically accurate aspects to it. I would recommend this movie to someone looking for entertainment or someone looking to gain more knowledge about the growing issue with violence and child soldiers in Africa.
