Allah is Not Obliged
It’s 1993 and when 10-year-old Birahima is orphaned, he begins the arduous journey from Guinea to look for his aunt in Liberia, helped only by slippery local fixer and self-proclaimed marabout, Yacouba. Soon the pair are swept up in civil war, with Birahima’s backpack switched out for a gun as he becomes one of the estimated 50,000 children coerced into becoming child soldiers. <b>Zaven Najjar’s</b> vibrant animated coming-of-age story – based on the award-winning novel by <b>Ahmadou Kourouma</b> – is a powerful mix of dark humour and heartbreak that paints a picture of the brutal reality faced by children in conflict.
