Uzodinma Iweala‘s novel, and directed by Cary Fukunaga, the adaptation is about a young West African boy – Agu – who has been forced to join a unit of mercenary fighters as Civil War brings about the death of his parents. He is captured by a warlord Commandant, played by Elba, who then trains Agu to become a ruthless killer.
