We were Rebels

When Agel was only 10 years old, he became a child soldier, trained to kill. At that time, South Sudan was in the middle of a bloody civil war. Agel managed to flee to Australia but now he's back to help with the post-war reconstruction of the country. He coaches the basketball team and is helping the ruined state get back on its feet. He is establishing an organization to help areas without easy access to drinking water. But, when riots broke out again between ethnic groups in Southern Sudan in 2013, Agel feared he would pick up his gun again. This engaging documentary tracks Agel over two years, showing his willingness to help others and be useful to his community. (Days of European Film)
