Clip description
Three children are asked to talk about their experiences of killing and maiming people. Olara Otunna, Special Representative Children and Armed Conflict, United Nations, comments on the recruitment of children to armed action and how easily they are trained to kill.
Curator’s notes
It is horrifying to hear these children recount their experiences. And while the consequences of their actions are made clear to the audience by intercutting their interviews with shots of maimed victims, it is disturbing that this context is absent from the children’s interviews.
