Rebelle was a movie about how powerful a woman can be in the context of war. Komona was a little girl who lost her parents to Great Tiger's rebels at the age of 12. Great Tiger's rebels made Komona shoot both of her parents with an AK-47. This haunted Komona so much, that she saw the ghosts of her parents in her nightmares. After the rebels kidnapped Komona, they used her as a "war witch." The Rebels along with Komona continue to fight across the Democratic Republic of Congo, until the Magician and Komona decide to run away. The Magician, who is an albino who is believed to be someone who can perform witchcraft. The Magician asks Komono if she will marry him, and she says that he needs to get the mythical White Rooster, which is very rare. The plot than changes to Komona and the Magician travelling around to find the White Rooster, until they find somebody who knows where it it. The man who knows where the Rooster is drives them to a village where a group of albinos live. You can tell that the Magician feels more at home her, seeing that he is also albino. After they get the rooster they go the Magician's uncle, named the Butcher. The movie slows in pace until the Rebels of Great Tiger find them again, killing the Magician and kidnapping Komona again. The movie ends after Komona has a baby with the general of the Rebels, and then gets on hitch hikes onto a truck. I liked the progression of Komona as a character, especially when she went back to her home town and "buried" her parents.
