Darfur refugee camp in ChadDarfur refugee camp via WikipediaEmanuel Jal’s life reads like something out of a movie—which is no doubt why his story is featured in a new documentary called War Child.

Jal was a child soldier in Sudan who overcame unimaginable violence, death and destruction and fled after being forced to fight as young as eight years old.

Today he is a rising international hip-hop star with one of the most amazing life stories you’ll ever hear.

War Child received a viewer’s choice award at the Tribeca Film Festival and premiered in New York on November 14th. You can learn more about the movie at the web site, WarChildMovie.com.
