[JonLewisFallows]

Lets change the world and close the gap

[cocopops110]

What is the name of the ending song?

[MooableMe]

@cocopops110 One voice-Justin Gledhi..

[cocopops110]

I watched this in school today weird

[nuclearthreat545]

Think you gangster popped a few rounds? These kids will come through and murder a whole town.

[destroyer4416]

You are an orphan now,

Adopted by the beast of war

The end of all your childhood dreams has come

A life of combat, forevermore

Heaven shall burn - combat

[rayfaust]

im 12

let the madness consume me

[spkenny02]

Not sure if I agree with Katherine Nelsons music here and implementing it with this type of video. Her lyrics are not literally about actual war with weapons. However I should say this is a very good video, and as I've never heard of kids being used for warfare, it made my jaw drop.

[neromonger69]

@762HB how is this shit funny ? huh

[neromonger69]

@762HB killed it buddy

[Gossipstation]

@762HB WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! THESE CHILDREN KILL THEY'RE FAMILYS FOR SURVIVAL AND THE FIRST THING YOU LOOK FOR IS AIDS?! FUCK YOU YOU BASTARD!

[casio1241]

im doing a geography project in school thnx this was very helpful and i feel sorry for these children

[sonicftw420]

wow kids can use guns there lucky

[Gossipstation]

@sonicftw420 HOW ARE THEY LUCKY?! THEY KILL THEY'RE PARENTS! JUST FOR SURVIVAL YOU BASTARD!

[il128]

They are BOYS not children. Boys. Young men. Not just the general children, Men's Rights now!

[foolclip]

I actually commend these young kids to have the courage to stand up for their families to their oppressors and fight for what they have.

[inokian]

@foolclip Many of them aren't fighting to protect their families. Their families sell them to drug lords (or get taken by drug lords) and then fight their battles.

[GloryB2Jesus]

@foolclip The3se child soldiers are usually abducted or sold and then brainwashed to do nothing but kill.

[JustinRabies]

@foolclip I personaly think your stupid foolclip (You are a fool) these children are taken from their homes into camps where they are trained to kill other human beings what if you were that child how would you feel you dumbass

[Shaestel]

We watching this in school today.

Thank you. <3

[MushroomheadSlipKnoT]

as for the massage in 3:53 giving children aid isnt going to stop the violence it is only going to increase the violence and if anyone has seen the new rambo movie you know what im talking about the only way to end this is to eliminate all who support or fight for it

[nikefan44]

@MushroomheadSlipKnoT True story. Its been done many times throughout history. I saw it on a small scale when i gave a homeless kid ten bucks, another homeless man beat him and almost killed him for the ten bucks. It is truly sad. Earnest Hemingway once said "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for". I beleive in the second part anyways.

[shadowraith95]

@MushroomheadSlipKnoT

agreed. the world is a savage place. the children need help, but not in the form of food. they need to be removed from these circumstances. fueling the child fuels the war. removing the child from the war removes the war from the child. btw, wats up wit the username? you kno those bands are arch-rivals rite?

[MushroomheadSlipKnoT]

@shadowraith95 i dont listen to either of them anymore and i dont feel like make i new channel

[JacquesGD]

You can't do shit about it this is how things are in Africa and there isn't anything a white men can do except for Assasinate the rebel leaders or capture them and put them on trial in another country.

[gbattiss]

as an african i feel for them i feel for my country

[nissanmid4]

at least wait till they are grown ups

[dawnninjawolf]

Even the rebels should have standards, at least wait till they are 10 for christsake!

[nikonxxx]

this a reality in the world that more people will experience if we dont do anything about the fucked up politics surrounding this madness

[StuffyG]

@nikonxxx True. Other than the traditional roles that dictators play in these affairs we need to inform the world about the dangers of left-wing politics. For all the rhetoric of peace and cooperation, the social left is keen to put an assault rifle in the hands of a child. They mean peace the way a jihadi means peace. Peace because they have destroyed any who stand in their way. Look at the death tolls in far left utopias. It's a tragedy of humanity.

[barudie]

Watch video at YouTube:

[Teaching children to become terrorists in Gaza Palestine]

[nikonxxx]

fucking idiots

are those who think these kids are terrorist they are fighting for they country and rights

shit i would do anythign to protect my hood is some foreign country came to destroy my home

[69stringibanez]

nikon you're a dumb fuck, read the book " along way gone" and u might understand whats going on, There fighting there own people, the government forces kids to be soldiers to fight the rebels who use child soldiers

[nikonxxx]

ahey did you even understand what i said. you think i dont understand, motherfucker i am saying that we dont do nothing about this shit , sooner or later our children or children's children would be pulled into war. read before you react, like read, inhale think, wait till something meaningful hits your head, better yet just listen to the white bitch sing and shut the fuck up.

[nikhilr51]

@nikonxxx as 69stringibanez once said, "you're a dumb fuck"

[BhudhaLovesBudlight]

@nikonxxx they're not fighting on their own free will. They're a drugged and brainwashed, force to kill for a cause that is not theirs but of the regime's. 

[stavrosdemetriou]

of course the youngest is an arab

[AntiLifeGuard]

The listed numbers are way off in this video. not to defeat the purpose of the video. They are being wronged, but we must not distort the truth and facts or we risk polluting the purity of this cause. 300k is an extreme over exaggeration. And sending money to feed these kids is not a solution but a prolonging mistake. Intervention or ignorance is all that will change the situation. Keeping kid soldiers alive with med care and food just keeps them alive to fight and kill other kids.

[Kalostaphor]

Children have little to no fear because they do not understand war. IF you understand something you know what it can do, and if it does something bad, you avoid it. E.X.

*Grenade*

Child: Whats this thing? :D

And you know what happens after.

[guineaboii]

africans cant makes guns where does it all come from fuck! i love been an african the place is good fro its trees but it is hell on earth for its people if there is a god this gu must be blind or powerless

[cyberissa]

The United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia, China...

You think Colt or Heckler and Koch care who they sell to?

[AntiLifeGuard]

The weapons manufacturers are rarely the ones who supply the weapons in the case in question. Especially H&K and Colt, who are large companies with brand quality and reputations to protect. Plus I hardly if ever see the weapons those companies make in 3rd world conflicts. Its mostly groups who purchase weapons then supply groups fro a number of reasons such as political or drug related.

[Timbe1995]

i hate it when they put children to the battlefield!!! those MF cowards!! Children should play and have a lovely family not walkin on a minefield with guns!!! I am really happy i have a wonderful family and a good childhood without guns and bombs!!!!!1

[blegh8528]

thats just sad to see all those kids get their childhoods taken away and into war. I also heard that they also have to kill their families to get in the army :_(

[eviltreemonster]

What film is this? It's fucking shit and boring as hell.

[chickenbreeder4]

and yet al these attrocities happin right in the eyes of the rest of the world and almost no media attention is brought to it 75percent of all conflickts arounds the world WOW GREAT VID MUSIC REALLI DOES WELL WITH THE VID BRAVO BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE BETS VID IVE SEEN ON YOUTUBE MATE

[ARTAUDIOJOTA]

I dont get how in college the Iliad is read and loved,and it portrays the same primitive,brutal,societal structure,but when it comes to real life,it has to be SHIFTED into modern perspective.If these kids had the other gifts of oration and manners,they would be greek heros like Achellies.The other thing is the song is so out of place,it creates a kind of YinYang,which is moving, but hoplessly out of touch with the adrelinin reality,its like watching a boxing match on herion.Just some perspective

[kaymiller9]

Are you kidding. They have no choice they are forced to fight and are very vulnerable due to fear.

[ARTAUDIOJOTA]

I am sorry, I dont know what you are talking about. They are used precisely because they can be made invulnerable to fear. If they didnt have utility they wouldnt be used. But they DO have utility, they can commit atrocities without reflection or horror, so they are an ideal fighting force. The word "infantry" is from Latin "infante" = infant, Roman Empire. Child-soldiers is a term used for particularly brutal African versions, but youth soldiers isnt exactly historically

[ARTAUDIOJOTA]

But to answer your question, they innitially have no choice to fight, but are inducted into a program which makes them "willing" to fight, this has made them very resistent to "rehabilitation" ask anyone who does this, it is very difficult. And regarding fear, I answered that one, they are particularly able to not only suppress it, but eliminate it. Sorry, but you just cant look at your western child, and assume that children under different conditions will be the same, worlds not that simple.

[xMolly1997x]

:( Five stars!!! brilliant!

[offiicialgurl22]

This is very moving and informative. I am a college student and I am doing my best to inform other young students and ppl in general of what's going because we as a human race not even as american but a compassionate ppl have to do something to cause change and stop this from happening. This is awesome and I applaud your efforts. THANK YOU.

[kasteelheren]

very impressive film

[cbradley1391]

its a damn shame that people are useing inocent kids to do there durty work. now i dont encurage war or anything but if you got something you gota do, dont be a fucking coward by sending kids to be human meat shields. if you want someone dead, then you beter have the currage to do it yourself or shut the hell up

[allstarkidsuk]

The work you are doing in Africa is brilliant - I have visited Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia helping support various project. Keep up the good work.

You should see the amazing videos at Madtube . org find out about charity fundraising ideas and their work - why not post this video there its very easy

[oopshi001]

very beautiful video and song! I've worked for war-child one year ago, and I know how difficult it is for that children. In the beginning they didn't trust me and they don't know how they can be friends.

[rehalim]

so sad....this video make me crying

[jeaniejr]

heyy is there any way you can send me the song or something??

thanx

[darkskyct]

Is there any way you can post a link or something of the lyrics of Fearless Heart?

[inokian]

Sure, I'll add it to the video description.

[darkskyct]

is there any way you can post a link or something for the lyrics of Fearless Heart?

[abelardona]

is extremely sad to see that millions of children are truncated their games and leave behind his innocence to enter a world horrendous and destructive shores to fight those who are not worthy of living.

greetings

[AquacraftSV]

Is this video made by U?

[inokian]

Yes.

[retrohippy68]

As a mum i was horrified to read the stats about children in war. If adults want to kill and incite hatered thats sad enough but lets leave the children out of it. Lets forgo the hatreds and bigotry we have been conned into having and give the children a better world.

We are all humans please dont forget this and turn your back on those who meed us the nost the saddest people in the world victims of war.

[palestiniansoldier1]

that kid that u said was 5 years old wasn't really fighting, hes just dressed like that, anyone in thier right mind wouldnt send a 5 year old 2 war, and theres no such thing as a terrorist, only americans and israleis

[MaCBo0k123]

lol

[Cahaltor]

Are you stupid? Or very ignorant? Let's see,what is a terrorist? Someone who causes terror to people. It doesn't matter if you are from,you can be a terrorist. A group of men hijacking a plane, and driving it into a building full of people,killing thousands,THEY are terrorists. A group of men slaughtering innnocent bystanders,THEY are terrorists. A army of men who are fighting a hostile force,they are not terrorists. Stupid? Ignorant? I think you are both.

[growinsthegameiplay]

eg: americans and israleis

[Ericthefilo]

lol eg Americans and Israelis hahahah so true (but there are some real terrorist enemies of the west as much as we bring terror to others... thats war and thats the world we live in)

[palestiniansoldier02]

What is a terrorist? a full army invading Iraq, killing their president, destroying their cities, holding torture camps (Abu Ghraib), defacing a religion and culture, displacing MILLIONS, killing in the HUNDRED THOUSANDS, and they don't refer to the civilians as people(you never hear "we killed 18 kids, 4 women and 9 men") as "insurgents" just in one country, then saying "War on terrorism" by destroying a whole area (Arab peninsula).they are not terrorists. Stupid? Ignorant? I think you are both

[palestiniansoldier02]

Stupid? Ignorant? I think you are both

[inokian]

That picture is just a visual representation of a reality. What are you talking about, "in their right mind"? Do you really think that sending any child to war, regardless of whether they are 5 or 12, is done by a person in "their right mind"? It's right there in the video- canon fodder. As in they are basically guaranteed to get killed- likely blown up.

[palestiniansoldier02]

well, after the west forces democracy into the mid-east, Palestine elects Hamas as a government and then suddenly America and isreal doesn't like their decision so they change it, i am Palestinian, and you gotta be a complete idiot to think that they're sending a 5 year old to war, and the 12 to teenage soldiers are there because its a third world country that cant afford black hawk helicopters or tactical rifles or even a military, they are militias, in the war of independence militias -contin

[palestiniansoldier02]

-continued militias were looked at as brave men that just wanted to defend they're country, but when a 3rd world country wants to defend them selves, America and Israel kills their children, kills the woman and elderly, clears their ancestors land then labels them as terrorists, the kid is dressed like that, its supposed to be a costume, dressed like a soldier, or no in your case its like "strap the kid with the bomb, give him a gun 2 times heavier than him and go kill" go read a book you idiot!

[KatanaLlama]

wow. im replying to the most ignorant person on the face of the planet

[palestiniansoldier02]

is that all you have to say? I guess your speechless?...

[81broncoman]

If a kid is shooting at you or throwing grenades you have 2 choices: 1-Die 2-Shoot Back.

There is no such thing as a wound shot, shooting a seventy pound kid in the leg or arm with a .30 or .223 will rip the limb right off. Its a harsh reality.

[inokian]

It's the fact that they are fighting at all. They shouldn't be in the situation in the first place.

A limb ripped out of it's socket would count as a wound, would it not?

[BhudhaLovesBudlight]

@inokian its not like they have a choice

[inokian]

@BhudhaLovesBudlight

It's certainly not a criticism of the children. It's a reflective look at the state of the world.

[BhudhaLovesBudlight]

@inokian ahhh i see

[nikonxxx]

@inokian

yo man get your perspectives right, buddha wouldnt touch a budlight and you know shit about countries in war and hunger, fucking idiot

[MuScLeS03]

our damn presdint mr. bush is a mr. douche

[DigBreamer]

This is a very sad but powerfull video. We really live in a fucked up world when this is allowed to happen. When will things change? Good people keep trying to do good things but it doesnt seem to get through, it doesnt bother the leaders... Change our leaders - change the world.

Great job on the Video...

[PatriotinFreedom]

Great video.

And communism should help weaker classes?

Hypocrysi.

[Camilo19832001]

powerful video.. it is a known fact that ALL guerrilas around the world kidnapps and employes children to do their dirty work... discusting. Great video! i will share with everyone i know!

[mlfgClaudia07]

Thanks for sending me the video Camilo 19832001, the images are very sad but that is the reality!

I wish things were different!!!

[heretic456]

I love the song ~ what is the song name ?

[mandy81444]

Im doing a projest in language arts on "chil soldiers" and this has really help me

[Spacepope3k]

You would think twice before shooting any child in a battle situation. This is why they are used...

[ChiefSlapah0e]

Good fighters, ever seen Blood Diamond? "SHED THEIR BLOOD"!

[babySmiles03]

Wow this video was so powerful. Great job!

[Ajuswannahoop]

Somebody build these kids a park. They shouldnt be playing with those kinds of toys.

When We were their age war was the last thing on our minds but its the FIRST thing on theirs. Lets do something about this.

[montroseeric]

what is the music?

[SpongeBes]

Wow this vid. realy makes u think.Great job.

[Matt482942]

Seeing these images reminds me of a Greek poem.

"even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart. Until in our own deep despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of god"

so much suffering and pain but for what purpose?

[blacksun73]

Nice job...thanks for this video.

[wabdinur]

So it's ok if they turn 18?

[inokian]

Is any war alright?

[wabdinur]

nope, but that doesn't prevent anyone from starting one.

[Rubes7106]

this is an amazing video, great job. I made a video for my senior exhibition very similar to this, called "The Youngest Suffer". I think you will like it, you should check it on my videos. Good song that you used to, the music was really effective and so was the text you incorporated along the way.

[inokian]

Thank you very much. We definitely worked hard on it.

[seamuss]

i can't believe this is happening..

so sad..

[madrokker]

Most of them are African...........

[fivestars20]

the most horrible thing is that real man soldiers have to kill those kids to survive themselves... but they will have that feeling and shame that that they have killed a child, enen though that child could have killed them.... War if for MEN, not boys.....

[cammydawnmartin]

where did u get that pic of the five year old i could use that for my school project on Child Soldiers

[inokian]

Try google

[sanirius]

Really nice video, and sad. A child should not go throught war.

But if aliens ever attack, the future generation will be hardened by war, so we can own them :P xD

[Ify33]

lol!!! Sanirius

[jessy84das07]

what happened to this world!!!!

[joanlagoy]

The UNHCR Deals with Everything from Food to

Shelter----to Me They Are Saints.With 11 African Countries Still in Conflict and at War,the UNHCR needs Every Dime any can Spare.

[joanlagoy]

Know 2 well of these facts--Thank You For Posting this!!!!!!!I Pray One Day It Ends--

I Have Love 4 These Children--That Deserve Love and Fun-Not physcos and guns.

Apache-_-Sky

[slob23]

This is such a sad sad truth. I wish i could take those children away from all that and give them all the love in the world that they still deserve. Don't worry children God is on his way. All the pain will be over soon.

[Blydys]

this is part of the many truths i try to bring. i will deliever this to the publice at large as soon as possible.

[charmedcutty]

really sad video.....true, but sad :(

[mma15]

this is sick...i thought i would see some action fighting

[bhbhbgdgt]

good thing Bush is helping to stop child soldiers in Iraq yes thats right liberals dont say nu uh he started the child soldiers

[cbathinkofaname]

wats the song

[seph95]

it says in the credits at the end...

[hey1121123]

nice work

whats the name of the song you used and who is it by

thanks

[TheCheeseCake]

simply watch the whole vid... it's named at the end.

fearless heart by felecia

[dvninja]

I've been trying to find out more info on the child disarmament organization but cant seem to find anything anywhere. Any pointers??

[inokian]

It isn't a real organization. The assignment was to pick a world issue and create an organization devoted to it. If you search in Google there are many other organizations out there with similar goals, though.

[dvninja]

Ah right. Well you've done a great job. We were trying to find out more info on the organisation to see how we could help out!.. It's a great piece you've put together on a touching subject. well done.

[joanlagoy]

Support UNHCR,Lives Are Saved!!!!!!!!They Work Constantly to Restore Humanity in Africa

[soussia1983]

Islam is a peaceful religions, only extremists use war and violence as a way to deal with the world just like in many other religions. But if you (lordofwrath88) can just take a minute and do some research you'll find out that a lot of children soldiers were not muslims and not abducted by muslims. So, do yourself a favour and keep these empty comments in your thinking box.

[soussia1983]

Just a reply to "lordofwrath88", seriously, that is definitely one of the most ignorant comments I've heard right after the one that says these children are there voluntary, Wow!! You guys take the peace you're living in America for granted. You should really get out of your little self-centered corner and start caring about others even if they live miles away from u.

[Aznryan113]

If you feel for Child Soldiers, than please watch the movie 'Blood Diamond' Excellent movie with Leonardo Decaprio, but that is not the point, it shows what is going on in Africa. Good-bye and Good-Job.

[beckstah]

good job with the video. You really managed to capture how terrible life is for a child soldier.

[lordofwrath88]

Stupid Muslim an Commie practices! On US of A!

[jimbeam1994]

are you sure this is the correct spelling of the song fearless heart by felecia because i cant find it anywhere.... great vid btw

[angeleyes0090]

u did an awesome job on this

[proudnijagirl]

cool vid, luv it.

[hawk4256]

amazing video!

[MrRipYourHeadOff]

nice video, hope you got an A

[EinnaAuruan]

Very good video. And those who are asking what the songs are called; the names and performers are listed in the credits at the end.

[liuli]

can i know the name of this song too?

[burnszeak47]

Where did you get this information?

Also what is money going to do?

Most of these children live in third world countries. They are fighting for freedom. Their only choice is to fight. Not long ago America serviced children of the age of 16 and probably if it came done to it we would do it again.

[SargFrost]

wow....i'm currantly doing an assignment on Child Sodiers and knew all the facts and everything but putting it like you have has actually made it something more then numbers on a page for an English Oral....Nice work on a depressing topic.

[sditlev]

Hey what song is it?? really need it ^^

[nikaze]

Most of them are volunteers, nobody force them.

[Ana0060]

I'm sorry, "most of them"? "Volunteers"? I've once made 15 page treatise of this same subject and can assure you, that even there's some kids who aren't put in position to choose serving with gun in either's their or their familie's neck, the 'volunteering' you're talking about, is a lot more compliacated than that. The world we live y'know, it's not the same kind of world where they live.

[wj363209]

no if you can't believe it watch Invisible Child or whatever i forgot but they are forced by rebels and brain washed

[lolita000001]

they are chidren... volunteers my axxx , sorry but this comment is do irracional .

Como se le ocurre a esta persona decir que estas criaturas son voluntarias a ir a una guerra a morir, que comentario mas irracional.

[alliepallie13]

its well touching

[TheTruePsycho]

by the time we're teens we've developed a liking of the kill. America is responsible for children at war, and you think you can change things by taking us in or sending them food and clothes? you're all a bunch of mindless hipocrite dogs!

[Jansen91]

that is so sad.MAkes me cry.Imagine it was you.

[kuehm]

I like the video. It is sad that children are becoming the new line in wars across the globe.

[MrJack6666]

STOP THE FUCKING WAR, NOW!

[Scottyray112]

you guys should hook up with the invisible children...one of my favorite bands is a huge supporter of this organization ...you may know them Thrice...

[xJTF2x]

Wow, that is really sad.

[treehamallama]

This is so horrible! iv heard of it though. its absolutely horrible.

[sonya66]

yaya go LUREL!! =) im at ur house right now loser :p
