It's not unusual for children of today to run around the playground playing soldiers, to spend their time at home playing war-based computer games and to fashion makeshift weapons from any available resources. But what happens when you take the 'playtime' concept out of the picture? When a group of 12-year-olds decide to play a game of Capture The Flag, the idea seems totally innocent. But events become more and more disturbing as their twig firearms become submachine guns and nearby rocks become grenades and they become intent on 'killing' the troops in the opposite team. What started out as a game quickly becomes a mission of life and death in the boys' (and girl's!) imaginations as friendships are tested in the harshest of ways.
'I Declare War' is an action drama that focuses on the chilling concept of boyish childhood games and the disturbing truth behind it. It has been directed by Jason Lapeyre ('Cold Blooded') and Robert Wilson ('Warriors of Terra'), with the former also writing the screenplay. It explores the deep core of humanity and its ingrained instinct for warfare and destruction; 'I Declare War' is set to be released in the US on August 30th 2013.
