Heart of Fire – playing at ICA (London) from Sep 25th -8,10-11 Oct
A drama about Eritrean child soldiers from the director of The Story of the Weeping Camel, inspired by the controversial memoir by Senait G Mehari.
The father of 10-year-old Awet (beautifully played by Letekidan Micael) hands her over to the Eritrean Liberation Front (known as the Jebha), where she falls under the influence of a charismatic leader, although her size prevents her from being a fully fledged part of the rebel militia. A powerful film that, by focusing on one story, attempts to represent the experiences of child soldiers everywhere.
dir Luigi Falorni, Germany/Austria 2008, 97 mins, 35mm, subtitles:

the mistake of senait is the book must be written in tigrigna.
so you are saying it is worth reading right? I will be watching it on saturday.
The book should be translated into tigrigna, you are right. we should not have any kind of censorship.
