The message of the movie is strong and if you think about how those things described in the movie really happen in real life, it makes you feel sick.
Good movie, well worth seeing.
This movie was actually dulled down and significantly sanitized for general display around the world.

The real brutality of Africa at war as so much worse than anything that movie could portay.

But it is good that these types of stories are beginning to be made - but there is a long way to go before the true magnitude of the humanitarian disaster that is Africa is fuly exposed.

Great movie.
