War Brothers
Captured from their Ugandan school by the Lord’s Resistance Army, five boys and a girl rely on themselves for survival. In Uganda, many children are abducted from their villages and homes for use as soldiers and slaves. This is a stunning depiction of the human cost of wars fought by children.
