What is happening in this photo?

Any ideas? Describe the scene. Where are they? What are they doing?

    Yes, a lot like lord of the flies ,were the kids ended up trying to kill one another. It looks like those people are going to shoot those kids.

    It looks as if the kids with the hats on have taken the other boys as prisoners, and are getting ready to kill them.

    This does remind me of Lord of the Flies. The three kids on the rocks are tied up and the other group of kids at the bottom look like they are about to attack/kill them. By what the big group is wearing, it looks as if they are part of some kind of organization.

    it seems like they are out in the middle of nowhere.
    and the little boys are trapped and the other kids are trying to stop them from crossing over.

    Great start, everyone. I had not even thought of the Lord of the Flies reference. That's perfect! I still won't tell you what it is, but these ideas you are throwing around are headed in a great direction.

    This appears to be a re-enactment of an execution. They placed the event in a field under a large boulder. The boy on the left is the officer in charge and the boys to his right are his soldiers awaiting his command to fire. The boys on the rock assumably represent rebels against the faction the other boys represent who have been captured and put to death.

    It appears that there is a dispute over the territory of the cave.

    It does seem like the movie Lord of the Flies, where three boys are stranded in a island. Also in this image it shows that these three boys weren't the only ones in the island because they end up being capture by other young boys.

    it looks like kids picking on a group of other kids or perhaps just playing a game.

    It reminds me of a game of cowboys and indians.

    It looks like a death squad execution line-up.

    This picture reminds me of the book Lord of the Flies when the kids form two different groups and go against each other when stranded on an island with no supervision.

    Kids during a civil war playing an execution game.

    In my opinion I think that the boys with the hat and the weapons are the reflection of the other kids that dont have weapons .

    it looks like the kids are imitating what they see in their community... the kids look like they have fake guns and their executing the other kids which are considered the enemy... the picture looks old like from the 1940's maybe even before that...
