White Material
Movie poster
White Material is a French language film, released in 2009 (and getting limited theatrical release in the U.S. in 2010) starring Isabelle Huppert as Maria Vial, Christopher Lambert as André Vial and Nicolas Duvauchelle as Manuel, their son; a white landowning family trying to keep their coffee plantation in the middle of a civil war in an African nation. The locals begin to act fanatically against any and all white people they see. The situation turns from bad to worse when Maria Vial aids a wounded rebel leader named "Boxer", putting her and her family squarely in the sights of the military and rival factions, all whom are crushing any vestige of white colonialism in their country. Maria refuses to evacuate and, soon realize, that the local villages and her plantation had been occupied by the militant army, lead by the cruel and ruthless Jeep and all her family members became captured by rebels.
