Uganda documentary
Since the beginning of Uganda's bloody conflict in 1986, rebels have terrorized people in the north of the country. The Lord's Resistance Army burns villages, massacres families . . . and kidnaps small children to fill its ranks. Every week, the rebel group abducts more than 1,000 children. And since the start of the conflict, it has taken more than 20,000 kids away from their families.
The rise of abductions in rural areas has forced parents to take unusual measures. Jessie Graham reports from Gulu town in the northern Ugandan region of Acholiland.
