Realistic tragedy of war, how children get forced into them, how some egoistic/sadistic "opportunists" use war to become living monsters

Like Blood Diamond but from African warlord's perspective and much more grim with no happy ending nor any heroism in the actions taken.

Very good portrayal of the decay of human morality when exposed to a harsh environment. Little to no time feels wasted or like filler.
