War Child - Movie Download

Plot

A Young Man On A Mission

"Left home at the age of seven/one year later I'm carryin' an AK-47." For hip hop artist Emanuel Jal, a former child soldier in Sudan's brutal civil war, these lyrics are hardly empty posturing. They are the bitter reality of a young man who was "forced to sin" but determined to "never give up and never give in." Today, wounded but still hopeful, he fights a new battle: bringing peace to his beloved Sudan and building schools in Africa. This time, his weapon is a microphone. See why audiences from New York to Berlin to London rave about the award-winning film, War Child, and have embraced the hip-hop artist with a terrifying past and a gentle soul. Interspersing original interviews, live concerts, and rare footage of Jal as a seven year-old boy, War Child will make viewers cry, laugh, dance, and celebrate the power of hope.

    Very touching, very accurate. The fate of Africa explained by a real-life example, one who's actually lived through it all.

    War Child is a unique documentary - the story of Emmanuel Jal captures the times we live in.
    It is a story about immense sorrow, struggle and survival.
    The underlying message is one of love, hope and joy.

    A brilliant movie, it will shock and inspire you. A history lesson of Sudanese conflict is weaved into a personal story of a young hip hop artist. The movie is beautifully composed, especially the parts shot in Africa. It makes you look differently at your own life, too.
