Johnny Mad Dog

Jean-Stephane Sauvaire directs this war drama set in an unnamed war-ravaged African country. The film follows a commando of African child soldiers who have been trained to plunder and murder civilians. Christopher Minie plays one of the child soldiers, 15-year-old Johnny, who – armed to the hilt with an AK47 – is taken over by his violent fantasies of becoming the ultimate ‘mad dog’. Daisy Victoria Vandy plays 16-year-old Laokole, who must put her studies aside as she tries desperately to flee the militia-occupied city where she lives with her eight-year-old brother and disabled father.
