GRACE, MILLY, LUCY… CHILD SOLDIERS

Grace, Milly, Lucy, a new Canadian documentary about Ugandan women who were kidnapped as girls and forced to fight for the brutal Lord's Resistance Army, has just been released. (The LRA has kidnapped over 30,000 children over the last 20 years.)  A trailer of the documentary may be viewed here.

The NPR show, Talk of the Nation, recently interviewed one of the women featured in the documentary along with its director.  You may either read the transcript or listen to the interview here.

NPR also featured a profile on the Lord's Resistance Army in 2005, which may be found here.
