REBELLE [2012]

aka War Witch
Canadian writer/director Kim Nguyen crafts a brutal and disturbing tale in Rebelle.  It's about a young girl telling her unborn child of the times she spent as a forced soldier in the Rebel Army in Africa.
It's a difficult film to enjoy but still a tale that needs to be told and acknowledged.  Rachel Mwanza stars as the young girl and deserves recognition for her haunting and powerful performance.  Beautifully shot and paced with perfection, Rebelle is a film one won't soon forget.
