a film by Zainab Jah and Tim Naylor
Production Design by Christelle Matou
Isata, a West African immigrant, comes across a newspaper profile on best selling author
of “Redemption of a Boy Soldier”, Mamadou Kargbo. A picture of him as a boy soldier
unearths long forgotten childhood memories.
Convinced that Mamadou was once the child soldier who wiped out her family during
their country's civil war, she decides retribution is her only choice. Finally, face to face,
she learns he too has suffered as much as she and begins to question the morality of her
plan.
