Daresalam (2001)
In a small Central African village, boyhood friends Djimi and Koni have come of age under a post-colonial government that levies crippling taxes and legally robs local farmers of their meager crops. When impulsive Koni savagely attacks a visiting government official, the resulting massacre forces the two friends on a journey that will transform them from boys into men, from farmers into soldiers and from villagers into revolutionaries. "We fight in one world so we can live in another," declares Koni as the two battle shoulder to shoulder against government troops. But while Koni embraces the politics and carnage of their dangerous new guerilla existence, Djimi longs for the simplicity and grace of the village life they've left behind. As the rebels move closer to victory, the two friends move closer to a clash of their own.

Memorable, crazy movie
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
I am in love with world cinema! This African movie has it's flaws, but it's beautifully shot and it gave this viewer a much needed perspective from the African point of view. With a world that is rapidly becoming split between the US and everyone else - I need this perspective. And so does everyone else in this good ole US of A.
