Passage of Grief to Healing – Sierra Leone

In "The Passage of Grief to Healing," former child soldiers translate their own personal firsthand experiences and stories of war into dramatic scenes of recovery and reconciliation. The former soldiers face reprisals and lack of forgiveness as they attempt to reintegrate into a society terrorised and debilitated by rebel soldiers who used children as their henchmen.

Youth, Conflict

The project organisaser say: "Now rejoined with society, many of these youths have become the subject of blatant attacks and victimisation or bullying at school, the playground, and at leisure. Yet, there do exist some who believe that forgiveness, reconciliation, tolerance, and understanding have the power to create a new glimmer of hope in this country recovering from a dreadful period of violence."
