Description:

After twenty-one years of civil war in northern Uganda, the government’s Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF) and the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) have reached a fragile peace. The innocent civilians of the Acholi tribe have been caught in the middle of this complex and barbaric civil war, in which abducted minors comprise almost 90% of the rebel soldiers. The Acholi are a proud and gracious people, who want nothing more than to be educated, to sleep safely in their own homes at night, to have food to eat and clothing on their backs, to live in peace.
