In 2012, a civil war broke out in the Central African Republic. The bloody conflict between the Muslim ‘Seleka’ and Christian ‘Anti-balaka’ militias resulted to heavy civilian casualties. The indiscriminate killing of both Christian and Muslim populations, saw thousands of orphans and displaced children getting recruited into the armed groups. The children were turned into soldiers, taught to kill and regularly drugged. Not only did they witness horrific war crimes, many were forced to kill. Meet these child soldiers, as they try to get back their childhood and return to a normal life, post-war.
