Warchild: Emmanuel Jal @ Princess Cinema \ Waterloo
February 18th, 2009
Peace
I thought this was particularly interesting, also caught in my google alerts. Former Sudanese ‘child soldier’, now turned (rapper?) and writer will be speaking at Princess Cinema in Waterloo on Thursday for a brief reading out of his book & a documentary showing. The event looks interesting enough to attend, here’s an excerpt and link:
War Child, a full-length documentary about Jal’s astounding life was released in early 2008 to great acclaim. It won the audience choice award at the Tribeca film festival. Now Jal has written a companion novel to the film, also titled War Child.
