Eighteen-year-old Monos, a former child soldier from Liberia, escapes from his home village in West Africa

 

After escaping, he ventures out of Monrovia and encounters a number of challenges along the way. Monos learns the true meaning of friendship and perseverance through adversity.

 

In an orphanage, Monos is treated as a curiosity by a group of girls from Western medicine. On a remote hilltop, eighteen teenage guerillas armed with guns watch a captured conscripted milk goat and an innocent hostage. Playing traditional games and initiating cult-like rituals, they run amok in their jungle hideout and tragedy strikes when the captured conscript tries to escape.

 

In pursuit, Monos must rescue the milk goat and the hostages. As he makes his way to the mountain compound where the hostages are being held, Monos finds himself face-to-face with the kidnapper. When Monos refuses to hand over the hostages, Monos finds himself at the mercy of a group of angry villagers. With his life on the line, Monos must decide if he can sacrifice his life for the others and save the hostages.

 

The main conflict of the film centers around the friendship between Monos and John, a man with whom Monos becomes romantically involved. When Monos decides to become a teacher and teach English, John urges him to stay on with the monastic life. However, Monos insists that he has a dream of becoming a soldier, so that he may protect his family.

 

John, who loves Monos, insists that he is more than that. In addition, he also believes that Monos has a vision and a mission. He says that he understands Monos better than anyone else and that he knows Monos is going to achieve his dream of becoming a soldier and protect his people.

 

Monos is determined to fulfill his mission and not let his mission control him. Monos therefore becomes obsessed with finding the key to unlock the door of his father's safe and his mother's house. Eventually, Monos realizes that John does have a secret of his own.

 

John also realizes that he must accept Monos into his family. The three characters finally agree to become brother and sister, and fight together against the enemy.

 

A movie like this is very important because it is a reminder that Monos is only human and that all of us need friends and support. In addition, it shows the importance of being true to yourself and what your intentions are. This film also shows Monos and John are not perfect.

 

However, Monos is flawed in the sense that Monos is not perfect. If he had chosen to live a life of purity, he would not have ended up in such a difficult situation.

 

This is especially true for the last ten minutes of the movie, when Monos is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice. Although Monos has chosen to sacrifice himself for the sake of his family and his people, he is forced to do so. Because he is weak, he allows himself to be captured and tortured by the villager, John and his father.

 

While in captivity, Monos realizes that he is not strong enough to kill John. In fact, he is so weak that he is willing to let himself be killed rather than be tortured.

 

When Monos is finally free, he realizes the mistake he made and thanks his father for everything he has done to him. Unfortunately, this final scene in the movie is not very happy for Monos. John is still there, however, as he tells him that Monos was the one who saved him and his father from all of the hardship. This makes Monos realize that he has nothing to be sorry about.

 

Monos, who was once weak and ineffective is now a warrior and has become strong. Because of his dedication, he has been given the chance to give back to humanity.
