White Material

A stubborn, tenacious French woman (Isabelle Huppert) who works on her family's coffee plantation in Africa with her employees (Adèle Ado, et al.) struggles to get her crop harvested while endangering her life and that of her former husband (Christopher Lambert), her sick father in-law (Michel Subor), and her lazy, apathetic son (Nicolas Duvauchelle) in this thought-provoking, disturbing, violent, 2009 film told in flashbacks when a wounded soldier (Isaach De Bankolé) with a bounty on his capture takes refuge on her property and she refuses to leave as rebels increasingly target whites during a civil war.
