In a dystopian world, the adult ruling class abandons all social responsibility to burn the future, leaving generations of exploited children to adapt to a brutal curriculum of survival. Spanning one hundred years, School of War follows children who have been abandoned by their protectors: the adults who traded care for conscription, drafting their youth into domestic and biological servitude. The ultimate battle isn’t in a war zone, but in the hearts and minds of a discarded generation piecing together a new future from a lost past. The ‘school of war’ is a culture of civilisational brutality and engineered amnesia that leaves its citizens for dead, and longing for something like a rebirth. 

 

And it’s very funny! 

 

The young people use cunning, passion and sheer grunt-power to deliver more than a glimmer of hope in the end.
