    Content: "Ein westafrikanischer Junge verliert im Zuge eines Bürgerkriegs seine Familie und wird bei der Flucht im Busch von einer Rebellentruppe entdeckt. Unter Anleitung eines skrupellosen Commandante wird er zum Kindersoldat ausgebildet, der brutal Gewalt ausübt, auch wenn er sich innerlich einen Widerstand gegen die Taten erhält. Die schonungslose Inszenierung mutet dem Zuschauer in authentischer Härte Bilder von Gräueltaten zu, ohne jedoch ins Exploitative zu kippen. Durch die ausdrucksstarke Kameraarbeit schafft der Film ein sensuelles Verständnis für das Erleben der Hauptfigur und beeindruckt als bewegende Auseinandersetzung mit systematischer Gewalt und individueller Schuld."

    Content: On the surface, Niru leads a charmed life. Raised by two attentive parents in Washington, D.C., he's a top student and a track star at his prestigious private high school. Bound for Harvard in the fall, his prospects are bright. But Niru has a painful secret: he is queer--an abominable sin to his conservative Nigerian parents. No one knows except Meredith, his best friend, the daughter of prominent Washington insiders--and the one person who seems not to judge him. When his father accidentally discovers Niru is gay, the fallout is brutal and swift. Coping with troubles of her own, however, Meredith finds that she has little left emotionally to offer him. As the two friends struggle to reconcile their desires against the expectations and institutions that seek to define them, they find themselves speeding toward a future more violent and senseless than they can imagine. Neither will escape unscathed.--from dust jacket

    Content: In this stunning debut novel, Agu, a young boy in an unnamed West African nation, is recruited into a unit of guerrilla fighters as civil war engulfs his country. Haunted by his father's own death at the hands of militants, which he fled just before witnessing, Agu is vulnerable to the dangerous yet paternal nature of his new commander. While the war rages on, Agu becomes increasingly divorced from the life he had known before the conflict started -- a life of school friends, church services, and time with his family still intact. As he vividly recalls these sunnier times, his daily reality spins further downward into inexplicable brutality, primal fear, and loss of selfhood. His relationship with his commander deepens even as it darkens, and his camaraderie with a fellow soldier lends a deceptive sense of normalcy to his experience. In a powerful, strikingly original voice that vividly captures Agu's youth and confusion, Uzodinma Iweala has produced a harrowing, deeply affecting novel. Both a searing take on coming-of-age and a vivid document of the dark face of war, Beasts of No Nation announces the arrival of an extraordinary new writer.
