The Childhood of a Leader
“Witness the birth of a terrifying ego.”
Drama
The chilling story of a young American boy living in France in 1918 whose father is working for the US government on the creation of the Treaty of Versailles. What he witnesses helps to mold his beliefs – and we witness the birth of a terrifying ego.
VIBE
A chilling, unsettling look at a boy's formative years. It's an austere, intense psychological drama that provocatively explores the birth of a terrifying ego against a backdrop of post-war tension. Best for a focused, solo viewing.
