Belgian Premiere : CHILDREN OF WAR by Bryan Single - Day of the Human Rights

A civil war has been raging in Uganda for the past 20 years. 35,000 children have been kidnapped and forced to serve in the rebel army. In the North, a rehabilitation center takes child soldiers in and prepares them to return to their families. For three years, Bryan Single followed the emotional and spiritual journey of some of these children. In his film, the beauty of the images contrasts with the harshness of the testimonies.  A splendid illustrated history of a country thirsting for forgiveness and hope. For the second year running BOZAR CINEMA is showing an engagé documentary on December 10th, which is International Human Rights Day. Undoubtedly the beginning of a beautiful tradition.
