Sorious Samura shocked
the world and changed his country's destiny with his
award winning film "Cry Freetown" (Emmy & Bafta
awards). Now Samura returns to Sierra Leone to show
how a rebel leader, driven by greed for diamonds and
power, turned thousands of abducted children into
killers. Samura finds three children in rebel
controlled Makene. For the two boys, Sasko and Tamba,
and the girl, Mariama, their years of enforced
support for the rebels are over but now Samura takes
them on a troubled journey back to the families they
were taken from. On their way home they share their
experiences with Samura and through their stories we
discover the scale of abuse that thousands of
children in Sierra Leone have suffered in the last
ten years of war. This film shows the role that
children have played in Sierra Leone's recent
history, not just as soldiers during the fighting,
but as the victims of injustice whose frustrations
sparked off one of Africa's most brutal civil wars. |
