Watch War Witch Movie (2013)

Montreal-based filmmaker Kim Nguyen paints a poignant and harrowing portrait of Komona, a 14-year-old girl (wonderfully played by nonprofessional actress Rachel Mwanza) who has been kidnapped from her African village by rebels to become a child soldier. She escapes from the camp with an older albino soldier and experiences for the very first time the joys of a peaceful and loving life, but a fresh tragedy will force her to confront and fight the ghosts haunting her mind. Although inspired by a real story that took place in Burma, Nguyen decided to film War Witch in the Democratic Republic of the Congo without giving a specific location to the plot. He worked on the film for 10 years, watching and catching children's points of view with his camera and mixing in tightly edited flashbacks in which the spirits of human beings appear with an ultra-realistic and violent storyline. But War Witch is also a poignant and impossible love story filled with magic, picturesque images, and even light moments like the powerful visit to an albino camp or the chasing of a white rooster.

Critic Reviews for War Witch

• Tom Long - Detroit News : Nguyen brings the harshness of this world alive not with big dramatic flourishes but with an everyday tone that makes it all the more frightening. This is how it is - how else would it be?
• Ben Sachs - Chicago Reader : Canadian writer-director Kim Nguyen spent nearly a decade researching this docudrama about child soldiers in Africa, and the film feels as authoritative as a first-hand account.
• Claudia Puig - USA Today : A powerful and upsetting portrait of a young girl compelled into unimaginably horrific circumstances.
• Colin Covert - Minneapolis Star Tribune : A haunting take on unspeakably grim subject matter, shot on location in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
• Moira MacDonald - Seattle Times : Nguyen, astonishingly, manages to wring something vaguely like a happy ending from this tragic story.
• Peter Rainer - Christian Science Monitor : War Witch is most effective not when we are looking in on Komona but when we are inside her head.
