Amazing AMAZING heartbreaking documentary about child soldiers who are girls. What an eye opener. This doc takes place in Uganda where 80% of the rebel soldiers are children (we are talking 7-19 years old) who were abducted and forced to kill their own families and whoever the Rebels tell them to kill. Of the 80% child soldier force, 30% are girls. Girls who become Rebel "brides" at 9-19 years old. Repeatedly raped, beaten, starved and made into killing machines. If they make it out and back to their villages they come back with whatever of their babies that made it through the fighting. Some have been fighting for over 10 years. They are often outcast as possessed by evil spirits and have no where to go, with their little ones in tow.
One of the girls escapes and is out to tell the world about what is happening. She has grace and a soft heart, i don't know how.
Makes you wonder how in the hell this can happen.
It's on Netflix in Canada, if you want to know what is happening in the world watch this documentary.
