Rebelle (War Witch)
Up for an Oscar, the Canadian film Rebelle (originally in French - War Witch is the English subtitled version) is a hard watch, but puts the issue of child soldiers on center stage. It is a heart-breaking story of a girl and her story as she prepares to deliver a baby, conceived through rape by the rebel leader. There is not much dialogue, so be patient because at times you might not know what's going on - it all gets explained at some point.
