Bang bang you're dead. No really dead. A group of twelve year old kids play war in a forest but the audience views the action through their eyes. They fire real machine guns hear mortars exploding around them and dodge bloody shrapnel from grenades. I Declare War is a movie for young and adult audiences alike featuring twelve to thirteen year old actors in the tradition of Stand By Me. With overtones of Lord of the Flies I Declare War is a parable for not only events broadcast nightly on newscasts throughout the world but a chilling depiction of the capacity for youth and man to take charge and to win at all costs.
