In Gambia, many children are condemned to many types of violence, simply because they were born on the wrong side of the world.
Hassan is a 14-year-old boy who lives on the street. His brother is accused of witchcraft and burned alive in front of him, perfect excuse because his stepfather also accuses him of being possessed by the devil, and the only choice is to escape and live on the street, like many other children and young people who are victims of a society who, out of ignorance and poverty, is unable to protect her children.
