interview with a former child soldier

This is an interview with a former child soldier of Sierra Leon. His name is Ishmael Beah, and since he left the army he has gone on to write a book called A Long Way Gone. I really like having a video on this blog. I don't think anyone can really wrap their head around something big like child soldiers unless they can put a face to a story. There's a difference between reading about something in you Current World Issues textbook and hearing a former child soldier tell you about his experiences.
