BEASTS OF NO NATION (BONN) is Cary Joji Fukunaga's screen adaptation of a novel written
by Uzodinma Iweala. It follows the character of Agu, played by Abraham Attah, as his peaceful uniden-
tified African village is ripped apart by the civil war surrounding them. We soon find Agu alone in the
jungle where Idris Elba's character Commandant and his troops stumble upon him. We watch as he is
trained and transformed from an innocent child into a drug-addicted killing machine.
