The nightmare of war is seen through the eyes of one of its most tragic casualties-a child soldier- in this harrowing vision of innocence lost from Cary Joji Fukunaga (True Detective). Based on the acclaimed novel by Uzodinma Iweala, Beasts of No Nation unfolds in an unnamed, civil war-torn West African country, where the young Agu (Abraham Attah, in a haunting debut performance) witnesses carnage in his village before becoming the captive of a band of rebel soldiers led by a ruthless commander (an explosive Idris Elba [The Wire]), who moulds the boy into a hardened killer.
Fukunaga's relentlessly roving camera work and stunning visuals-realism so intensely visceral it borders on the surreal-immerse the viewer in a world of unimaginable horror without ever losing sight of the powerful human story at its centre.
