Children of War - a new film from Bryan Single

Since 1986, the violent conflict in northern Uganda has claimed more than one million lives and has forced over 35,000 children to serve as soldiers, domestic servants, and "wives" of rebel leaders. Guerrilla leader Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army abducted and forced these children to commit unspeakably brutal acts. For those who've escaped, the process is about recovery, reintegration into society and finally returning home.

AAM's Katherine Gypson sat down with filmmaker and producer Bryan Single, who spent three years living in Uganda working on "Children of War" to discuss his film and the rehabilitation process for child combatants in Uganda.
