"Beasts of No Nation" is the first of many original films Netflix is releasing on the big screen, and on their streaming service, in the coming years. Written and directed by Fukunaga, "Beasts of No Nation" is based on Nigerian author Uzodinma Iweala's novel of the same name. The drama follows newcomer Abraham Attah's Agu, a young child soldier who is forced to join a group of rebel fighters after his family is torn apart by a civil war in West Africa. In the first teaser for the film, Idris Elba's warlord Commandant tells Abu to kill the man who murdered his father. The emotional teaser is reminiscent of the intense gang initiation scene from 2002's "City of God," and is a strong indication of some awards recognition for Netflix, and maybe even young Attah.

Well he is somewhat right in a way. Uzodinma Iweala is NOI's son so technically his advancement is also her advancement as his mother

Many people will think the Iweala mentioned here is the former finance minister, this is not the same person, someone was trying to be clever with the thread's title.

This movie is being made by Netflix, the Internet streaming giant, so technically it's not really a Hollywood movie as its not from any of the traditional movie studios. Then again we tend to refer any movie made in the US as Hollywood so no qualms there.

In all, it's great that another Nigerian work is getting positive international attention. Good one Uzodinma Iweala.

Not the same bro. And that does not in any way dwarf the achievement of NOI or exonerate her of the corruption of the last administration. So the vale attack on Oshiomole is unacceptable.

Despite their different view of the handling of finances in Nigeria, you have never seen Gov. Oshiomole attacking Uzodinma on issues that concerns his mother.

People should discourse issues and stop allow their hate to teleguide their tongue.

It's Uzodinma Iweala, not Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. Always read before commenting.
