African landscape 2009 / Director: Newton I Aduaka
Ezra
Aduaka’s second film after the London-set ”Rage” tells of the experience of a child soldier (Kamara) who fights in a war in an unnamed African state, although the timing and setting recall the civil war in Sierra Leone in the 1990s. The film jumps back and forth from the bloody stage of this battle to a later truth and reconciliation hearing, during which Ezra stands against his relatives in the search for truth. It’s an intelligent, cleverly measured fi lm, but what’s particularly interesting is how it treads a similar path as the recent ”Blood Diamond” yet steers clear of that fi lm’s failings.
