In the spring of 2003, three young Americans traveled to Africa in search of such a story. What they found was a tragedy that disgusted and inpired them - a story where children are the weapons and the victims. This film exposes the effects of a 20-year-long war on the children of North Uganda.
An entire generation has never known peace. Tens of thousands of civilians have been mutilated or killed by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in Northern Uganda for 20 years. Since 1986, the leader of the LRA, Joseph Kony, has abducted and brainwashed more than 20,000 boys and girls to fight as child soldiers in his militia, with roughly 12,000 abductions occurring since 2002. As a result, 250,000 children in all of Northern Uganda currently receive no education; 737 schools (60% of the total) are non-functioning because of the war, leaving the schools that are functioning grossly overcrowded, with 300 students for every one teacher.
This video provides a dramatic inside look at one of the most innovative and ambitious attempts at dialogue and healing in human history - South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It reveals the deeply moving encounters of victims and victimizers and of a nation with a racist past. It explores the working of restorative justice through four emotionally wrenching case studies. Because this video is long, it should be used in segments. Each story will generate discussion on a variety of topics: dispute resolution, community mediation, peace and conflict studies, theories of justice and crime, prisoner rehabilitation, victim's rights, reparations, psychological trauma and racial sensitivity. Winner of Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival.
