Ratings and reviews

Really wonderful film, with tender moments layered under the backdrop of war. It's a Love song, really, and a coming of age story set in the Congo about a young girl taken from her family to fight as a child soldier.

Love this movie, through all Rachel obstacles & her struggles she kept fighting....very touching

Sad, truthful realities of the indegineous people of the Congolese Region.
