About this episode
Beast of No Nations tells the story of Agu, a young boy captured by a West African rebel army and forced to fight on the frontline. The sadistic warlord commanding Agu in a battalion of child soldiers has shifting fortunes as he tries to climb his way to power.
But does the film promote stereotypes about children in war zones?
