Movie director Jean van de Velde in discussion


 
The Dutch film THE SILENT ARMY (wit licht) is Tuesday's movie treat.
The director, Mr. Jean van de Velde, will be present for question and answer after the show.

Silent Army is based on true stories of children from War Child projects and is set in the world of child soldiers in Africa. One night, the young Abu, along with a dozen other children from his village, is kidnapped by rebels.

Thomas, the son of a Dutch cook Eduard who runs a restaurant in Africa, is inconsolable when he finds his best friend has gone.
Eduard, as a perfect anti‐hero, decides to find out what happened to Abu and starts
discovering the harsh reality of the child soldiers’ lives.
