“That you don't need more than one riveting talking head and a little intelligence to make a terrific docu is amply demonstrated by No Man's Land.”-Variety

(Terra de ninguém). A man sits on a chair in an abandoned building, a “no man's land”-or neutral stage-for him to tell the story of his life, and for the filmmaker to record it. He stares at the camera and slowly relates his experiences as a soldier and mercenary in Mozambique, Spain, and El Salvador, serving a variety of political powers. His tale unfolds in fragments, delineated in numbered chapters, which barely contain the violence described.
