White Material

White Material (2009)

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.
