This trailer is made for an english class project. I chose to create a trailer for the book I read called "a long way gone" by Ishmael Beah. This will probably not be an actual film I make. Unless enough people like, then I may consider it.
Based off the book and true story ("a long way gone"). The setting of the story is in Sierra Leone. The story is about a child's journey through hell and back. This boy is named Ishmael Beah.
Summary of the book:
In A LONG WAY GONE, Beah, now twenty-six years old, tells a riveting story. At the age of twelve, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. Eventually released by the army and sent to a UNICEF rehabilitation center, he struggled to regain his humanity and to reenter the world of civilians, who viewed him with fear and suspicion. This is, at last, a story of redemption and hope.
It's a great book and recommend it to anyone.
Hope you enjoy this trailer.
