Can a Story Change the World? In the Spring of 2003, three young Americans left California for such a story. What they found was a story that disgusted yet inspired them. As the filmmakers found themselves stranded in Northern Uganda, they discovered children being kidnapped nightly from their homes and forced to become soldiers. This film is dedicated to exposing this tragic and amazingly untold story.
