Ezra, a young former Sierra Leonean fighter, is struggling to find his bearings and return to normal life after the civil war that laid waste to his country. His everyday life is divided between a psychological rehabilitation centre and a national reconciliation tribunal organized under the auspices of the UN. During the rehabilitation trial in which Ezra takes part, he has to face his sister who is accusing him of the murder of their parents. Ezra, who got through that violent civil war on drugs and alcohol, can’t remember a thing. Will Ezra admit to the horror and thus allow his sister and his village community to forgive?
Newton was born in Nigeria in 1966. Fleeing the war in Biafra, his family settled in Lagos in 1970. Newton studied at the London International Film School, graduating in 1990. His first feature-length film, RAGE, (2001) was hailed by critics and won numerous prizes at festivals such as the Los Angeles Pan-African Film Festival, the Fespaco, the Montreal Vues d’Afrique and the Amiens Festival. It was shown on Arte France
