Amid wailing sirens and a squawking police scanner, he sits uncomfortably...cleaning a paintbrush. An interviewer's voice, unsure of what he is witnessing, asks the boy to explain his existence...his art. Though the police instruct the boy to "return to work", the interviewer holds them off until finally the boy agrees to show us his art. Step inside the line...his art - a world at war. Are you ready?
