The inspiration for OUR FATHER, THE DEVIL:
“‘There aren’t a lot of films about child soldiers, some have looked at the process of how they are brought in, the horrors they experience, but no one ever asks how they start over,’ says Foumbi, adding that she was inspired to tell this story partly due to her father’s work at the United Nations. ‘My dad’s job at the UN was to find aid and rehabilitation for these children and try to give them a second chance, reprogram themselves. A lot of them by rescued by NGOs but there is a very high suicide rate among them; finding out all this made me want to investigate more and do something.’”
