On the eve of Human Rights Day, join us for an evening of readings, conversation, a call to action and the official launch of Lt-Gen Roméo Dallaire's Zero Force, a global movement to end the use of child soldiers.

Hosted by CBC's Anna Maria Tremonti, the event will feature a presentation by Lt-Gen Roméo Dallaire and a reading from his new book, They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Childrens, followed by General Dallaire in conversation with Indigo Books' Heather Reisman.

This celebration of Human Rights Day will also include an introduction from world-renowned advocate Stephen Lewis, as well as an evening of storytelling, music and interactive discussion highlighted by a performance by former Sudanese child soldier and hip-hop artist Emmanuel Jal.
