Watch War Witch Streaming Movie Online FreeYou can watch War Witch movie onlien streaming megavideo without downloading HEREMontreal-based filmmaker Kim Nguyen paints a poignant and harrowing portrait of Komona, a 14-year-old girl (wonderfully played by nonprofessional actress Rachel Mwanza) who has been kidnapped from her African village by rebels to become a child soldier. She escapes from the camp with an older albino soldier and experiences for the very first time the joys of a peaceful and loving life, but a fresh tragedy will force her to confront and fight the ghosts haunting her mind. Although inspired by a real story that took place in Burma, Nguyen decided to film War Witch in the Democratic Republic of the Congo without giving a specific location to the plot. He worked on the film for 10 years, watching and catching children's points of view with his camera and mixing in tightly edited flashbacks in which the spirits of human beings appear with an ultra-realistic and violent storyline. But War Witch is also a poignant and impossible love story filled with magic, picturesque images, and even light moments like the powerful visit to an albino camp or the chasing of a white rooster.

Movie Synopsis | |
| Komona, a girl in Sub-Saharan Africa, tells the story to her unborn child about her kidnapping by rebels and forced to join their bloody civil war. When she discovers a valuable intuition about the presence of the enemy, she is elevated as a witch and favored by the rebel leader. However, this special status threatens to be short-lived in this world of superstition and senseless brutality even as the ghosts of the war dead haunt her visions. However, when a newfound friend convinces her to desert, Komona finds escaping that brutal life is far from easy with its physical and spiritual consequences following her wherever she goes. | |

Review For War Witch | |
| The sensitively imagined story of a child soldier in Africa makes War Witch a genre benchmark and a breakout work for writer-director Kim Nguyen. Deborah Young-Hollywood Reporter Along with the moral lesson, Nguyen remembers to give auds some pleasures, including the exquisitely chosen soundtrack of African folk and pop music, Nicolas Bolduc's cinematography and the very artful use of sound throughout. Leslie Felperin-Variety Rebelle is full of such careful detail, and is carried so beautifully by Mwanza's performance, that questions of authenticity slide away. Guy Dixon-Globe and Mail The ghosts of murdered villagers that haunt a young girl brutally forced into slavery as a child soldier in Rebelle mirror the film's dramatic effect on an audience. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star What's missing here, in order to raise it to a different status, is the fierce involvement that comes from someone who lives inside the picture and is therefore, personally concerned. Dan Fainaru-Screen International Nguyen's decision to look away from carnage and avoid melodrama is admirable, making room for sensitive and imaginative filmmaking, but it softens the blow the subject would otherwise deliver. Radheyan Simonpillai-NOW Toronto While the film is certainly a potent and sometimes harrowing portrayal of injustice, it is not heavy-handed, but done with skill and sensitivity. Paul Gallagher-The List ...an intriguing and frequently disturbing drama that tells an important story in an impressively even-handed way... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews | |
