okay what's this about?
This looking like your run of the mill all black men are savages production
It's based on a novel.
Beasts of No Nation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The novel follows the journey of a young boy, Agu, who is forced to join a group of soldiers in an unnamed West African country. While Agu fears his commander and many of the men around him, his fledgling childhood has been brutally shattered by the war raging through his country, and he is at first torn between conflicting revulsion and fascination with the mechanics of war. Iweala does not shy away from explicit, visceral detail, and paints a complex, difficult picture of Agu as a child soldier.
Iweala is a Nigerian-American, Harvard-educated author, who attended St. Albans School in Washington, D.C., during his teenage years. While the book does not give any direct clue as to which country it takes place in, there are several details that suggest it is in Nigeria. The book is notable for its confrontational, immersive first-person narrative; Agu speaks in an idiosyncratic cadence of English that mimics sentence structure and expressions in a number of languages spoken in Nigeria.
I don't see enough in that trailer to get mad hype over it though. The talent involved draws my attention more than that footage does.
