Description:
Michel is like many other five-year-olds: he has a loving family and spends his days going to school and playing soccer. But in 1993, the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Michel and his family live, is a country in tumult. One afternoon Michel and his friends are kidnapped by rebel militants and forced to become child soldiers. *Child Soldier* is the sometimes heartbreaking but ultimately inspiring true story of the triumph of the human spirit.
