[vvp] A Child's War released - Year-End machinima project on Child Soldiers

The following video was the year-end project for the Global Kids youth leaders in Queens, New York who spent the year working in Global Kids' Virtual Video Project, at the Museum of the Moving Image, funded by the MacArthur Foundation.

The video is based on research done by the youth about the situation of child soldiers in Uganda and the upcoming trial at the International Criminal Court.

You can watch their earlier piece about digital media and youth at here.

Hey guys great job. I'm impressed with the detail and the power of the message.

In face, after a group of women here in Australia saw a video called invisible children (invisiblechilren.com) we decided to raise money for these children, and are giving the money to project Watoto who help rescue child soldiers.

Good work guys
Jazz :)

Thank you for giving a voice to those who have historically had none. Your machinima touched my heart. Keep up the good work!
