Tan dura y a ratos realista como 'Johnny Mad Dog' (2008), 'Rebelle' (2012) aborda el asunto de los niños-soldado en África, pero a diferencia de aquella en ésta se aprovecha el hilo argumental de una conversación de la embarazada con su futuro hijo para narrar en clave de semi-cuento (arriesgada decisión argumental) esa cruenta y devastadora experiencia y además (con cierta sutil elegancia) se pasa de puntillas por la excepción (a veces extremadamente cruel) de los albinos en ese continente. Altamente recomendable si se es capaz de digerir el asunto y algunas escenas difíciles.
Almost as hard and realistic as 'Johnny Mad Dog' (2008), 'Rebelle' (a.k.a. 'War Witch', 2012) addresses the issue of child soldiers in Africa, but unlike that other in this one the plot takes advantage of a conversation of the pregnant kid with her future son to narrate in the semi-key of a fairytale (what a troublesome creative idea) that bloody and devastating experience, and also (with some subtle elegance) it tiptoes the difficult exception of albinos in Africa. Highly recommended if you are able to digest the subject and some difficult scenes.
