War always fascinated Christian. At 17 he ran off to join a South African militia and a few years later he traveled to war-torn Yugoslavia as a reporter. The conflict, however, drew him in completely, and he joined a paramilitary unit of foreign volunteers led by the charismatic Eduardo, a Bolivian officer trained by the KGB. With the aid of passages from her cousin’s diaries, archive footage, and her own hand-drawn animation, the director reconstructs Chris’s mysterious past. Combining documentary and animated film, she gradually uncovers his incredible story, offering audiences a gripping personal statement and a terrifying probe into a displaced war history.
