Gorilla

The story of an LTTE child soldier Playful yet disturbing, Gorilla plunges us into the village of Kunjan Fields, in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. Here, amusing local thug Gorilla runs wild and poor Rocky Raj, his son, tries to distance himself from his father's antics. When the Tamil Eelam Movement comes to town, he becomes a child soldier. Soon, however, he is thrown out by the Movement for not following orders – then recaptured and tortured. What will be this soldier's fate? Filled with characters as strange and violent as they are unforgettable – young girls with bombs concealed in their bosoms, delinquent boys, illicit liquor sellers, wily police inspectors, murderers, prostitutes, farmers, innocents – Gorilla is the English language debut of a remarkable talent.
