In 2011, the artist and activist George Gittoes created the Yellow House, an art collective in Jalalabad, Afghanistan’s second biggest city. There he works with children and outcasts in this war-ridden territory dominated by Taliban. Providing the local children with video equipment, he encourages them to make their own films. Among the kids, is Steel, the leader of a gang called Gangsters, a 9-year-old boy that walks around with a razor on his mouth, terrorizing people. In this way, these kids get to recover part of their lost childhood.
