Kids in Camps
Documentary following the lives of children living in temporary camps in South Sudan and refugee camps in northern Uganda in the aftermath of the South Sudanese civil war.
Following the South Sudanese civil war, over 1.5 million people have been displaced from their homes. South Sudan is now facing a famine which, it is predicted, could result in the deaths of over 50,000 children. This documentary follows the lives of children living in the harsh conditions of temporary camps in South Sudan and refugee camps in northern Uganda.
Grace and sister Anna were forced to run for their lives from their home. Grace goes to extraordinary lengths to get an education, risking her life travelling to Kenya in search of a new school. John's father was killed fighting in the Sudanese army, and John and his mother fled to a refugee camp in Uganda. John's mother is forced to return to their home in Juba, and John is left alone. Scovia was forced to flee her town of Nimule following rumours of an imminent rebel attack. Now living in a new refugee settlement, she talks about her struggles as she adjusts to the harsh conditions in the camp.
What does it mean for a child when your life is torn apart by war and famine - when you are forced to leave home with no idea of when, or if, return is ever going to be possible? This film gives a heart-wrenching and personal glimpse into these children's lives and tells their inspiring, moving stories through their own words.
