The story of Ezra

The trauma of war leaves deep psychological wounds, especially for children forced into violence. Clips from a film about child soldiers in Sierra Leone reveal the long shadow of conflict and the struggle to reclaim hope. One ex-combatant, unable to recall his age, exposes how war disrupts memory, identity, and community. Moving forward requires not only progress but remembering these painful histories to avoid repeating them.
