NEW YORK—Cary Fukunaga’s first feature film, “Sin Nombre”— which translates to “Nameless,” was a Spanish-language drama about Honduran immigrants. His latest, “Beasts of No Nation,” is a brutal story about a boy drafted into a West African rebel army.
Don’t be fooled by the exotic filmography. Fukunaga grew up in Oakland, California, in what he calls a traditional middle-class family, first planning to be a professional snowboarder.
