The Lutheran World Federation is helping thousands of Acholi farmers return to traditional village life following 22 years of rebel warfare and child abduction in Northern Uganda.

Jim Quattrocki and I produced this documentary in Northern Uganda in October, 2006. Kevin Jacobson helped with logistics. Jim Parks edited the program and wrote some of the music. This is an African story of God’s amazing grace. Northern Uganda has been at war for twenty years. Those most affected, a tribal people known as the Acholi, or Luo people, endure rape, torture, and child abduction. Thousands have died. Others are missing. Two million people are displaced.

Most live in squalid camps for internally displaced persons, protected by government soldiers they often fear more than the rebels. Despite all this, the Acholi are united in the belief that the only real solution to the problem is reconciliation and forgiveness. The Acholi are ready to forgive.
