Child abuse is a
massive issue throughout the whole of Africa. It
happens on a daily basis and for far too many
children it is almost routine, an accepted part of
daily life. This film follows the story of Swarmad
Chadiga, who was so badly abused by his stepfather
he left home when he was only 12 to live on the
streets of Kampala. More violence and brutality
followed. He was caught up in vicious battles
between rival gangs and often the police, who simply
wanted the kids out of the way, would resort to thug
tactics to clear the streets. But Swamad has managed
to turn his life around. Against the odds he trained
as a hairdresser and now he has his own saloon
employing several people. It’s so successful he has
been able to help train other street kids who, like
him, used to encounter daily violence and abuse.
Part of a 28 x 25-minute documentary series produced for the BBC. These films can be bought individually or as a series. |
