Summary:

Filmed inside Sudan, in a Darfur displacement camp and in a remote village in the Nuba Mountains, A Different Kind of Gun tells the harrowing story of children caught in the crossfire of Sudan's two wars. Told in children's voices and filmed, in part, by their own eyes, the film takes us into the hearts of the country's youngest generation, who will decide one day whether to avenge their families deaths or to forgive them. Though scarred by the horror they have seen, these children study for the first time in makeshift schools, which they hope will be the weapons that one day bring them peace.
