Thousands of boys were taken from their parents and forced to fight in a war between government forces and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement, where they were routinely tortured by superior officers.
Deng Thiak Adut was one of these boys.
Deng has lived in Australia since 1998. Around 10 years ago, while at his brother's house in Sydney, Deng was unexpectedly reunited with one of his superior officers.
"But deep inside my heart I thought, 'This was a man who beat me on a daily basis'."
