Ballad of the Little Soldier

This Werner Herzog documentary focuses on Miskito communities in Nicaragua who used child soldiers in their resistance against the Sandinistas. It confronts the wrenching reality of children drawn into armed conflict and the world that shaped them. Herzog's unflinching eye turns a war story into a meditation on innocence and violence. It is a haunting watch for anyone interested in war, human rights, and the cost of conflict on the young. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
