Netflix is a popular movie streaming service enjoyed by millions of people. The company’s popularity is growing and their growing list of quality original programming is only going to help.

Next up is a movie featuring Idris Elba called “Beast of No Nation”. It will be available October 16 for download.

This is a drama based on the novel by Uzodimma Iweala about a child soldier in West Africa. However, according to according to IMDB, the movie is a drama based on the experiences of Agu, a child soldier fighting in the civil war of an unnamed African country.

Either way, this Netflix original sounds interesting. Hopefully it will spark some interest in the novel as well.
