Fragment 53

Synopsis

An evocation of the God of war introduces the film. A frame ties together and abstracts seven portraits of Liberian warriors. Through their voices war is present in a series of first person accounts, from the fighter's point of view, as an ineluctable human expression of destructive forces that are, at the same time, universal and individual, real and archetypical.
