Plots(1)

Werner Herzog is not afraid to go into the darkest corners of the human soul and the most dangerous places in the world. With the writer and friend, Denis Reichle, he sets off to war-torn Nicaragua on the northeast coast at the border with Honduras. The Miskito Indian tribes assembled a children's retaliatory military group. He tries to capture authentically the lives of its members and the cruelty of the bizarre combat troops. How many young soldiers lived until the premiere of this raw documentary, though? (Visions of Light)
