The Lost Generation

Millions of children have survived nuclear war only to lose their parents, homes, documents, and protection. Broken registries and refugee routes leave them vulnerable to people who see opportunity in their disappearance.

In the United States, trafficking networks hide behind transport arrangements and temporary guardianship, while children begin organizing their own resistance. In China, young survivors enter a system that registers, assigns, and reshapes them for the state. Across fractured Europe, nationality, language, and missing records become matters of political control. As the Recovery and Security Pact confronts the scale of the crisis, The Lost Generation asks what rebuilding can mean when the next generation is being exploited, displaced, or stripped of its identity.
