Just watched, "Beast Of No Nation", I wonder if that's real - hades_leae - 07-29-2016
I wonder if there are really things like this happening in Africa, or if these were just movies being made about child soldiers. I have never heard anything about stuff like this in the news.
But after watching all these different movies like "Hotel Rwanda", and others, I want to know if there is genocide, and worse in Africa. Has anyone else seen that movie?

Those movies are very old and the stuff they portray isn't always necessarily true. Yes there have been cases of genocide and situations where child soldiers were fighting in wars, but that is all in the past and those things are not really happening anymore.

It's a very good movie with Don Cheadle, he is a really good actor. I think you'd enjoy watching it.
If you're not into seeing movies where there is a lot of violence. then it might not be for you. People get treated very wrong in that film. It's based on a true story I believe.
