Grace, Milly, Lucy…Child Soldiers (2010, documentary, 73 minutes)
Over the past twenty years, more than 30,000 Ugandan children have been abducted by rebel troops and forced into armed conflict. Many of these child soldiers are girls. Combining personal accounts and scenes from daily life, this documentary dares to believe that a better future is within reach for these women, united in a common struggle.

The Trenches (2010, animation, 6 minutes)
An anti-war statement created through archival images that are masterfully contemporized by filmmaker Claude Cloutier’s Indian ink-and-brush artistry. No dialogue or narration.
