In the Democratic Republic of Congo children up 40 to 60 percent of combatants during wartime have been children, some as young as eight years old. Through the voices of these children, this documentary explores the issue of recruitment of child soldiers, rape as a weapon of war, sexual exploitation of girls in armed forces, and the importance of the International Criminal Court to bring peace and justice to the DRC.
