The Childhood of a Leader

Directed by Brady Corbet

Written by Mona Fastvold, Brady Corbet, Jean-Paul Sartre

The chilling story of a young American boy living in France in 1918 whose father is working for the US government on the creation of the Treaty of Versailles. What he witnesses helps to mold his beliefs – and we witness the birth of a terrifying ego.
