About
Ballad of the Little Soldier

Documentary showing how children were drafted into the army in the Nicaraguan civil war. Werner Herzog and his crew shot this in a grueling 3-weeks traveling through a jungle war zone to reach ravished villages and military training grounds. 1 trainer says that he wants the children when their minds are young, so that they can be molded. Herzog ranks this as his best documentary. He looks pretty broken up at the end
