CAFWA

(18 minutes) Uganda

Thursday, 10/28, 5:00pm (Session XVIII)

Director/Producer: Christopher Jenkins


Description:

The conflict in northern Uganda has shattered the lives of many. Joseph Kony, wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court, continues to evade capture while his ragtag group of fighters, known as the "Lord's Resistance Army," easily slips over borders killing, mutilating and abducting at will. In efforts to capture Kony, the Ugandan military ordered more than 1.4 million people off their land and into camps for "Internally Displaced People." For women and girls caught in the middle of the conflict, the road to reconstruction is particularly difficult. This film, narrated by Oprah Winfrey, is an intimate look into the lives of some of these brave women, exposing the difficulties they face and revealing a remarkable organization that is helping to rebuild their lives.
