Uganda Rising

Uganda Rising | Film Synopsis

For two decades, the Acholi people of Northern Uganda have been caught in a civil war between a rebel group whose main objective is inhumane terror and a government whose military response has often increased misery and suffering. Over one and a half million people have been displaced into camps and over 25,000 children have been abducted to be used as soldiers and sex slaves.

And yet through it all, every day across Acholi-land something remarkable happens. Against a backdrop of dismal statistics, miniscule opportunity and unpredictable terror, in a part of Uganda forgotten by the world, children who have never known peace, face the day as if to live this way is normal, as if they still believe in the future. These children are the embodiment of resilience and hope. This film is the story of Uganda, her stolen children, and the fight to be free.

Sometimes this makes me feel both hypocritical and powerless. Knowing this is all going on, yet there's still little I could do about it.

"Kassim the Dream" is a documentary that chronicles the life of Kassim Ouma, a former child soldier who not only survived, but triumphed to become the Junior Middleweight Boxing Champion of the World! Check out an interview with Ouma and director Kief Davidson here:

as good a clip as this is i think they should post more clips from the movie on here. i've seen this documentary and the parts that really hit home for me were the interviews with the former child soldiers. if they posted more clips people would really understand how bad the situation is.

CrowTrobot, I read your comment and if you post such to hurt people, you were more than successful. I broke down. Well let me ask you to stop such (having read your comments on some Nigerian videos) .Stop the contempt for you surely are better than that...if only you listen to your conscience. God Bless My Country Uganda.
