Hello, everyone.
My university is searching for two films to compliment the book A Long Way =
Gone: Memoirs of a Child Soldier by Ishmael Beah, which everyone on campus=
will be encouraged to read for the fall.
A Long Way Gone is Beah's first-hand account of being pressed into service=
as a child soldier in the war-torn country of Sierra Leone. His story of a=
childhood lost and an adulthood found is an inspiring journey from heartbr=
eaking tragedy to hope and redemption.
Possible movies mentioned:
Cry Freetown
Africa: War is Business
Sierra Leone's Refugees All-Stars
Ezra (the description of this one sounds amazing to me)
God Grew Tired of Us
Bling: A Planet Rock (Ishmael Beah is in this film)
Johnny Mad Dog
War Dance was also mentioned, but we've played it twice already, so I will =
be encouraging the use of other titles.
If you have seen any of these films and can comment on the suitability of t=
hem or if you have other films you would recommend instead, I would be happ=
y to receive messages from you.
Thanks,
Sandra
