- Attacks by the terrorist group Boko Haram in the village of Kolofata in northern Cameroon have been ongoing since 2013. Despite the terrifying circumstances, a group of children strive to juggle school, housework and fieldwork.
The far north of Cameroon, on the border with Nigeria, is subject to murderous terrorist attacks and therefore under military protection. Although the acts of violence committed by the terrorist group Boko Haram are less frequent now, people here live with a constant, omnipresent threat.
The children here having to cope in a post-apocalyptic situation. The main characters in this tragedy are Falta, Ladji, Ibrahim, Mohammed, Ismaela and Maloum. They are all between four and eleven years old. They live in the village of Kolofata and are trying to build a new future for themselves. The camera captures the unbroken zest for life of these children, who go to school and look after their herds. They are creating their own world amidst the dangers of the armed conflict. We get to know the hard-working Falta, grieving the loss of her father, who died in a terrorist attack. She is eager to learn and asks many questions. Ibrahim and Mohamad, on the other hand, fight a lot. They struggle to reconcile their childlike energy with their traumatic past. The days of innocence are long gone for these children.

Broke my heart when all these kids could mention as daily objects they see around them are weaponry. What a traumatic world have been created for them.
Thanks DW Documentary for telling their stories.
About time, DW started covering Nigeria intensely. Thank you.
Very nice documentary ,the subtitles are very helpful
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I get lazy to watch an interesting documentary while reading and watching the video. A narrator is very much appreciated.
Then don’t watch it
You lazy bastard
@@celestef767 No, it's absolutely true that a proper narrator would greatly improve the documentation. Not everyone can read the subtitles.
@@user-vg2ui3wg8nthey should invest in some remedial language arts classes then. Sounds like a personal problem. If they cant read the language, they can turn on the subtitles. People are just lazy these days and have no attention span
How embarrassing for you.
DW produces excellent videos. Sehr gut, DW !!
A good prepared documentary is what I really interested in DW documentary Channel 👍
no one asked
Same here in Afghanistan 😢💔
Islam is root cause
@@AjayYadav_25Christianity isn't any better.
@@XeroK00Lit went through Enlightenment. The majority of people who celebrate Christmas in western countries are secular and most atheists do.
@@AjayYadav_25and misogyny, patriarchy society.
@@user-di3wt4fu6b which Islam promotes
Amazing documentary ❤. My eyes were glued to the screen the whole time.These kind of documentaries are better with subtitles instead of voive over artists.Its feel more natural especially with all the background sounds.
How awful life is for these children. May Jesus come into that camp and heal and transform their hearts.
I wish I could trade places with anyone if these children😢 America is spoiled watching & reading the daily lives of these people has always been a passion of mine❤ May God Bless each and everyone of you 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Careful what you wish for.
Honestly, so many of us have been where those kids are in this documentary, that we don't need a narrator
A beautiful documentary about a life in fear and hope. They dream to help everybody in the world but the outside world do not know or do not understand the horror They live in. Why Boko Haram continues?
what is the language the speak at school and what is the language they speak outside of it? I'm confused. The one they speak at home or ourside of school seems like a weird mixture between some kind of native language and French. Someone from Cameroon, please help?
Yes, I thought about that too!
@@chayanika2074 Yeah, right? I hope someone answers this.
French in school, Hausa at home.
@@thehealedwoman Kind at heart, I thank you.
Why aren't there any protests in America to show solidarity to those people? I thought people out there cared so much about the oppressed ones around the world. I'm tired of their selective social justice seeking
The leaders and the people have to work it out. It's religion and culture. American protest has no business init!
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
This religious problems is what led to the Sudan splitting into two , Muslim north Sudan and Christian/traditional religion south Sudan
5:36 what WAS mama like?
[how privileged we are to remember]
No, we're not so much "privileged" to remember as they are cursed to have theirs ripped away from them like that.
@@taylorlibby7642 the kids? they're the ones who're cursed?
@@greendsnow You don't think it's a curse to have your mama ripped away from you?
@@taylorlibby7642 I'm confused. Can you please tell what did to deserve that curse as well?
This was so *VERY TOUCHING!!!* Glad he's able to *REMEMBER and SHARE* with his brother!!!🥰
Watching from Bangladesh.
I wonder why did the two brothers escape the village!
Exactly. Wasn’t narrated properly I think
In search of greener pastures.
@@user-di3wt4fu6b what greener pastures?
@@user-di3wt4fu6bha ha ha 🫤
💚❤️💛
Beware of the Paradox of Tolerance
To be a child and darkness forced upon you …..
Religion of peace once again
Children are noisy everywhere.
I hope the documentarians paid the ppl they feature
I hope they pay them from the UA-cam payments they receive for the views the video gets.
An hour documentary with subtitles🙄
Lazy.
@@NurseSnow2U you look like you let your patients die
Siamo tutti colpevoli e ancora una volta sono i bambini a soffrire, davanti a loro mi vergogno profondamente

So chicken was their weapon
This is not Nigeria
Please sir in Hindi
Islamic republic of Germany
Edgy
@@Mein_mannBut true unfortunately.
@@taylorlibby7642 not really
You don't think it's unfortunate? Because it's definitely true.
@@taylorlibby7642 "Because it's definitely true." - nope. And you can keep repeating it as long as you want and it will still not be true.
Thank Islam for all the problems
*Religion, fixed it for ya
@@MultiKaeseToastin recent years one religion seems to be disproportionate
@@seanmurphy2365 That might be but in the history of humankind all religions did its thing of sowing discord everywhere. LRA, the troubles, crusades, modern terrorism, even in suposedly first world countries like the US religion is so important.
One religion that's Islam ( fixed it for you)@@MultiKaeseToast
Let children to go to JESUS CHRIST and do not forced their life and mind to think more they can't , their mind 🧠 or brain was Created by HOLY LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST TO LEARN THE ORDINE DIVINE ( 10 COMMANDMENTS DIVINE ) OF HOLY SPIRIT JESUS CHRIST
Africa do not need other religions. They have their own gods.
@@Flower-ck2bs
The HOLY LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST FATHER HEAVENLY IT IS THE CREATOR OF HUMAN'S ON THE EARTH 🌍 , HE IT IS NOT A RELIGION BUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM HOLY SPIRIT , HE IT IS THE PERFECT TRUTH AND THE SINGLE SALVATION ...
Islam the most peaceful community they say😂 such a joke
You can see the lives between African and the west,
This are the things am talking about, nobody wants to know why African don't want to live in there country,
Because children don't have that energy they want in Africa
Why aren’t the so called rich and smart Africans living in the “West” going back to fight? Do they not love their homelands?
They do it to themselves. Then they ask for the world to fix it.
Seems to be the theme for lots of world problems
There are plenty of innocent people around the world who do not want war or any problems. They’re caught in the middle and often lose more those fighting.
@@Itgyrl909 youre very smart✌🏿
Ahhh yes I remember now Islamic faith and colonialism started in Africa. That's right, you're a total genius 🤬
Islam, yet again.
All religions are like this. Get use it it
Didn’t like the documentary. Very disjointed.
DW is biased and part of left eco system. It had produced many such documentaries. It will never show how the Christians are tortured and surviving in pathetic condition.
Whole world only one issue, Islam
And the Cancer keeps multiplying, the world is in deep sh"t.
"you say you are going to school but you know nothing"😂😂😂
Not funny. It is actually sad.
