‘Heart of Fire’ Exclusive New Film Release at the ICA

September 30th, 2009 § Leave a Comment

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.

heart of fire

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.

Director Luigi Falorni, Germany/Austria 2008, 97 mins, 35mm, subtitles:
