Pendant cinq ans, le jeune Emmanuel Jal a combattu comme enfant-soldat au Soudan. Sauvé par une travailleuse humanitaire, il est devenu une star internationale du hip-hop et un militant engagé en faveur des enfants dans les zones de combat. En mots et en chanson, il nous raconte l'histoire de son parcours extraordinaire.

Emmanuel Jal's hypnotic voice rises from hellish origins as a beacon of hope for those caught in seemingly endless cycles of war and despair. Full bio »
