Rebelle (War Witch)

Calmly passing through a series of tumultuous events, Kim Nguyen's Rebelle (War Witch) follows  Komona's (Rachel Mwanza) path as she's forced to serve as a child soldier.

Viciously separated from her family, she despondently acquiesces to her chaotic surroundings, inductively developing psychological survival strategies which enable her to tactically trudge through her wartorn environment.

The film placidly displays the bitter helpless wanton affects her predicament necessitates before accentuating their terror by transferring them to a supportive realm wherein their sublimation proves perplexing.

It's not emotive or sentimental, just a raw exemplification of debilitating dissonance which presents a reality the victims of organized violent insurgencies must endure.

Under the guise of their best interests.

How one suddenly returns to a constructive life after suffering under such hardships without occasionally expressing themselves with fits of irrepressible anger is beyond me.

Complete with contextual symbolic sabotage.
