Beasts of No Nation
“Watching this movie, sometimes I wanted to cry—but I didn’t,” Attah says of his debut in Beasts of No Nation. “I hope people take away that it’s important to help the African countries that have child soldiers. They should stop the children so that they can have a better life.”

Attah wears a jacket by Dolce & Gabbana and jeans by Levi’s. Photographed on location at the Empire Hotel, New York City.
