GUA- PEACE
A movie to see in a theatre near you now (if in DC its at E St.)
WAR CHILD
Film Synopsis:
"Left home at the age of seven/one year later I'm carryin' an AK-47." For hip hop artist Emanuel Jal, a former child soldier in Sudan's brutal civil war, these lyrics are hardly empty posturing. They are the bitter reality of a young man who was "forced to sin" but determined to "never give up and never give in." Today, wounded but still hopeful, he fights a new battle: bringing peace to his beloved Sudan and building schools in Africa. This time, his weapon is a microphone. See why audiences from New York to Berlin to London rave about the award-winning film, War Child, and have embraced the hip-hop artist with a terrifying past and a gentle soul. Interspersing original interviews, live concerts, and rare footage of Jal as a seven year-old boy, War Child will make viewers cry, laugh, dance, and celebrate the power of hope. By supporting the film, you not only support this DC Production, but you also help support Jal's lifelong dream of "Gua", or peace, in Africa. Five percent (5%) of gross revenues of the film go towards GUA AFRICA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping communities in Sudan and Kenya overcome the effects of war and poverty through education.
