LOGLINE
In a post-war wasteland haunted by memory and myth, a former child soldier searches for her lost sister and the
fragments of her past — only to discover that the final
battle for peace will be fought within herself.
FireBreather: A Child Soldier’s Story is a psychological war drama that fuses raw realism with mythic imagery to explore the fractured inner world of a child soldier torn between faith, indoctrination, and survival. Blending visceral action with surreal memory, the series captures not just the war fought on the battlefield — but the one that continues long after the guns fall silent.
