On Victory Day in May 2008, young men in the Pankisi Gorge of Georgia gather to participate in war games using toy guns. Pankisi has no jobs for the young men, and without money, they cannot leave the area. In any case, the Georgian government has not yet provided them with any legal status, so it is impossible for them to search for jobs in the city. © Daro Sulakauri / VII Mentor Program.
