Beasts of No Nation

When a tooth strikes out with pain and swelling, you end up spending the day at home resting and watching Netflix.  This movie, “Beasts of No Nation”, hits hard.  A very graphic war movie filmed in Ghana in West Africa.  It won’t appeal to everyone, but I appreciated its honest portrayal of African war zones and the food for thought that it provided.

This movie is about the mountain climbing expedition for the Shark’s Fin route up the Meru Peak in the Himalayas.  If you see the film, you will see a documentary about superhuman men.  If you are like me, you will be shouting on the inside for these men to stop what they are doing – just stop.  It is a crazy film that explores the boundaries of what risks are logical versus illogical.
