Children of War (2009)
Outstanding, must see film
20 December 2009 - 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
Children of War shows an uncompromising view of the Ugandan child soldiers coming off the battlefields and into the arms of the rehabilitation counselors. Unlike other forms of coverage of Africa, this film doesn't feel like an exploitation of their tragedy, instead the children themselves share their experiences as they come to terms with having to live with the atrocities that haunt them. Eloquently blending in the politics and core of the conflict with the children's stories, the film is more about the universal concepts of forgiveness and healing than a history lesson. Above all this is a masterfully crafted film, filled with heartrending surprises that should not be missed.
