Synopsis:
When civil war tears his family apart, a young West African boy is forced to join a unit of mercenary fighters and transform into a child soldier.

Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer in Netflix Inc., the marketing company for ‘Beasts of no Nation’, described the movie as a disruptive success, as the movie has already been seen by three hundred million viewers across the world.
Beasts of No Nation is the first film at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival to generate major Oscar buzz.
