A resistance film for children. A film that emphasizes that the sal-vation of the world lies in the wilderness. A young boy, Kim, is dub-bed Nature's Knight by an Indian. But while Viggo in Good People doesn't want to grow up, Kim is not satisfied with that. He is Nature's Warrior. He fights alone against a world that has completely lost contact with its origins.
“A beautiful and touching tale.”
/Variety
"It´s best described as an adventure film for all ages, from nine years old on up – beautiful, thought provoking and exciting."
/Dagens Nyheter
"This is exactly the kind of urgently needed, contemporary film that Swedish children and youth audiences, and even adult audiences for that matter, have long demanded. A film thattruly concerns itself with the present, and takes a stand, a film that urges consideration and resistance. Only an unrelenting rebel like Stefan Jarl would have been up to the task."
/Nöjesguiden
“Shimmering adventure for all ages.”
/Dagens Nyheter
"Stefan Jarl is one of Sweden's most interesting personalities and "Jag är din krigare" is as special as he is. What starts out as something of a naturemovie you'd recommend to kids, develops into a very scary and painful story about fanaticism and the evil done by man's hand. Jarl is as pissed off as he always is and doesn't portrait the grown-ups of this movie in a very sympathetic way. Kim is the hero, but even he towards the end starts to lose control. What kind of 14-yearold is so dedicated to saving the nature that he will stop at nothing? Not even killing other humans. Basically; don't judge this movie too quickly. In the beginning it's mostly natureromance and a cute story about a boy, his fox and his search for peace among the animals of the forest. But then the movie changes, you can't say when, and you start getting chills down your spine because you realize things will go wrong. People will try to hurt Kim and he will probably try to hurt them back. Robin Milldoff is superb in the role of Kim, and this is really his movie. His stern face, that reflects Kim's determination, tells even more about him than what he says. Jarl is frustrated, almost desperate, at the thought of what man is doing to Mother Nature. He wants you to open your eyes to what is going on around you. If this young boy can do it; why can't you?"
