War Witch/ Rebelle

Dir. Kim Nyugen

Rebelle is the story of a girl named Komona who is kidnapped by a group of Congolese rebels and forced to become a child solider. Komona runs away from the rebels and tries to make a new life for herself but her past comes back to haunt her.

I saw this film several weeks ago and it has been on my mind since. I remember watching the trailer and feeling like I had been punched in the gut with a brick. After I actually watched the film, I felt like I had been hit with a whole sack of bricks. I am no film critic but I just felt a need to write about this movie. I found the film an immersive and memorable experience.
Rebelle is not a very complex story but it certainly evokes strong emotions in the viewer. You hold on to the hope that the protagonist will survive despite all the unspeakably terrible things she has to endure.

Definitely worth watching if you happen to get a chance to see it.

watch the trailer here.

i wonder if there is not a type of sensationalism that goes along with making films and documentaries about “war-torn Africa”. there seems to be an omnipresence of films about wars in or having to do with Africa…any thoughts?

Ogunde- The World About Us

Hubert Ogunde, (born 1916, Ososa, near Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria—died April 4, 1990, London, Eng.), Nigerian playwright, actor, theatre manager, and musician, who was a pioneer in the field of Nigerian folk opera (drama in which music and dancing play a significant role). He was the founder of the Ogunde Concert Party (1945), the first professional theatrical company in Nigeria. Often regarded as the father of Nigerian theatre, Ogunde sought to reawaken interest in his country’s indigenous culture.
