Uganda rising

This documentary examines the situation in Northern Uganda, a region devastated by a civil war between Yoweri Museveni's government forces and the rebel group known as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). This war has been characterised by the extreme brutality of the LRA and in particular the abduction of over twenty-five thousand children. These children are then forced into committing atrocities or put into military combat. In addition, over one and a half million Ugandans have been displaced into camps. Includes interviews with Noam Chomsky, Mahmood Mamdani, Samantha Power, Betty Bigome and Lloyd Axworthy.

  • "For the past 20 years, the Acholi people of northern Uganda have been kidnapped, held hostage, terrorized and killed by one of their own, Joseph Kony. As the leader and self-styled 'prophet' of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), Kony has been engaged in an undeclared civil war against Yoweri Museveni's government. As part of this war, over 25,000 children have been abducted, trained under particularly brutal regimes, and sent out into the field as soldiers. Museveni has attempted to check the LRA by detaining the women and children of northern Uganda in sprawling internal displacement camps. A brief history of the history of Uganda prefaces the exploration of the havoc Kony has wreaked on this otherwise progressive, stable African nation."@en
