The White King
“The hardest thing to break is the human spirit.”
DramaScience Fiction
Djata is a care-free 12-year-old growing up in a brutal dictatorship shut off from the outside world. When the government imprisons his father, Peter, and Djata and his mother Hannah are labeled traitors, the boy will not rest until he sees his father again.
VIBE
A stark, oppressive vision of childhood under a totalitarian regime. It's a bleak but ultimately hopeful story about family bonds and the resilience of the human spirit against overwhelming odds. The film feels intimate and personal despite its grander themes.
