Ezra
110 minutes, 2007
Newton Aduaka
Ezra stands out among other African films because it is a complex psychological study of a child soldier, not just about the trauma, healing and reintegration into society, but also as a key for reconstructing these societies themselves. This drama was awarded the Grand Prize at the 2007 Festival Panafricain du Cinema à Ouagadougou (FESPACO), Africa’s largest and most prestigious film event, and selected for the International Critics Week at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
“ A passionate, harrowing drama. This is no denying the film’s power, or its frankness regarding the ongoing tragedy in Africa” - Variety
