About a third of the world’s child soldiers are in Africa.
The civil war in northern Uganda has dragged on almost completely unnoticed by the rest of the world. The rebels of the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army) are waging a bloody guerilla campaign.
They abduct children and conscript them as soldiers. LOST CHILDREN (2005, 95 mins, English subtitles) by Ali Samadi Ahali and Oliver Stoltz received several prizes including the German Academy Award 2006 for “Best Documentary”.
It follows the lives of four children, from 8 to 14 years old, who successfully escaped the LRA. They return home to be branded as killers.
Admission: 2 USD. Free for Khmer students.
