Beasts of No Nation: Crash Course Film Criticism #14

Some films are about war, some films are about kids, but some films are about kids during a time of war. Even more upsetting are films about kids who participate in war. Beasts of No Nation tells the story of Agu, a child forced into serving in a war in Africa and it is both upsetting and compassionate. In this episode of Crash Course Film Criticism, Michael Aranda talks to us about the craft of filmmaking in Cary Fukunaga’s “Beasts of No Nation.”

Beasts of No Nation is available to stream on Netflix (as it is a Netflix release).
