Overview :.. This chilling tale of the rise of Fascism in the Twentieth Century tells the story of a young American guy living in France in 1918 and whose father worked for the US government in the creation of the Versailles Treaty. What he witnesses helps to shape his ideals – and we see the birth of a terrifying ego. Loosely inspired by childhood experience of many of the great dictators of the twentieth century and imbued with the same sense of horror The Others and The Omen, The Childhood of a Leader is an ominous portrait of the emerging evil.
