Details

Krigets barn (2012) is a powerful Sub-Saharan African film that follows the story of Komona, a young girl who is kidnapped by rebels and forced to join their brutal civil war. The movie is structured as Komona telling her unborn child about her traumatic experiences.

As the civil war wages on, Komona discovers a valuable intuition that enables her to sense the presence of the enemy. This incredible ability earns her the title of a witch and the favor of the rebel leader. However, this newfound status comes at a price, as superstition and senseless brutality reign in this world. Komona's visions are haunted by the ghosts of the war dead, adding to her torment.

Amidst the chaos, Komona forms a friendship with a fellow rebel fighter who convinces her to escape their dire situation. However, she soon realizes that escaping the brutal life she once knew is far from easy. The physical and spiritual consequences of her past continue to follow her wherever she goes.

Krigets barn is a gripping film that delves into the themes of war, superstition, and the resilience of the human spirit. It presents a raw and unflinching portrayal of the horrors endured by child soldiers and the lasting impact of violence on their lives.
