The Child Soldier's New Job
Start date: Nov 28, 2014, End date: May 27, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

It is a well-known fact that private military companies are becoming significant players in conflicts around the world, supplying not merely the goods but also the services of war. Our film will reveal how the private military industry hires the cheapest possible soldiers and labour. Large parts of both the logistics and the actual warfare have been outsourced to private companies who want to maximize profit. Cheap labour for example, is being hired from the poorest parts of the world by Western companies. The gravest example of which is the employment of former child soldiers.The film will explore how the globalization has changed the industry of warfare. It will also focus on the political implications. How is it possible that companies can hire former child soldiers despite the codes of conduct that have been formulated for the private military industry? Is there a chain of responsibility?
