CHILDREN OF WAR

Filmed in the war-zone of northern Uganda over a period of three years,  ‘Children of War’ is a documentary film that follows a group of former child soldiers as they escape the battlefield, enter a rehabilitation center, and undergo a process of trauma therapy and emotional healing.

Having been abducted from their homes and schools and forced to become fighters by the Lord’s Resistance Army – a quasi-religious militia led by self-proclaimed prophet and war criminal Joseph Kony – the children struggle to confront and break through years of captivity, extreme religious indoctrination, and participation in war crimes with the help of a team of trauma counselors.

As the children are guided forward into new lives by these fearless allies, Children of War illuminates a powerful and cathartic story of forgiveness and renewal in the aftermath of war.
