Synopse
Africa today. A direct insight into a reality for which the adjective ‘harsh’ would be a considerable understatement. 15-year-old Johnny, known as Mad Dog, is a child soldier who looks like a gangsta rapper. Armed to the teeth, he roams the land with his troop and kills everyone he meets; men, women and children alike. 13-year-old Laokolé has dreams of going to school and university. Produced by Mathieu Kassovitz ("La Haine", 1995) after the novel by Congolese writer Emmanuel Dongala.
