War Child

War child is a documentary about the hip-hop star Emmanuel Jal's return to Sudan where he had to fight as a child soldier. His life as a child soldier is horrific to the point when he even had to resort to cannibalism. What people did to each other in that part of the world was inhuman. And now Jal's songs talk about his experiences but for many of us it sounds like horror fiction. You look at Africa and Africans and wonder why these docile people are forced to face and even indulge in so much violence. "Forced" being the key word here.
