synopsis
Joseph Kony, the self-appointed leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army, abducted tens of thousands of children in northern Uganda over the course of twenty-five years and trained them to kill. In the interview led by the film’s director, the trio of narrators return to the site of their captivity and, with a touch of bizarre humor, replay the merciless daily routine of their stolen childhood in the bush.
