Children Do Not Play At War
Children Do Not Play At War is a cinematic and interactive VR film that tells the stories of the children of war in Uganda through the words and images of Aloyo, a 12 year-old girl. Since 1986, Northern Uganda has been a place of constant conflict, where over 75,000 children have been abducted and forced to spend part of their childhood as soldiers by the rebellion forces of the Lord's Resistance Army. See this world from the perspective of Aloyo, as she plays, explores, and shares fireside stories about the children the war took away.
Lead creator Fabiano Mixo (@fabianomixo) is a Brazilian filmmaker whose work questions the boundaries of multicultural identities and memory through diverse forms and perspectives. Children Do Not Play War was made in partnership with GO Campaign, a non-profit that improves the lives of orphans and vulnerable children around the world by partnering with local heroes to deliver local solutions.
