Pendant 20 ans, l’Ouganda a été le théâtre d’une des pires crises humanitaires du monde, mais aussi l’une des moins médiatisées. Jetant un regard incisif sur les enjeux politiques, le film suit cinq personnages dont le quotidien est conditionné par le conflit.
The population is the battleground in "one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world," where war continues between rebels and the Ugandan government. As rebels abduct and force children and adults into their ranks, thousands flood into towns searching for security. In response, the government forces 1.7 million people into camps in an attempt to cut off the rebel's supplies and recruits. Instead of protection, the camps offer disease and death. Politically crisp and salient, the film captures the realities of war in northern Uganda through the interconnected stories of five people —Catherine Hébert
