New film “No More Tears” confronts issue of child soldier reintegration

Discover the Journey, a team of journalists and story-tellers who “expose injustices facing children in-crisis and advocate for intervention partners” has recently released a teaser for their new film “No More Tears”.

Lindsay Branham from Discover the Journey remarks on the film:

No More Tears is a film about child soldiers and their journey to become peacemakers in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The film follows Heretier – a former violent child soldier who was given the chance of a new way of life after being given a scholarship to a rehabilitation center, and his decision to search for his best friend Moisha who he fought side by side with in the rebel group called the Mayi-Mayi. During Heritier’s search for Moisha, he becomes a peacemaker, shedding his former identity as a tool of war, and calling his friend to a life of peace instead of death. This story is human and heroic, and will inspire people to enter their own journey of becoming peacemakers, even in the face of injustice.
