In the spring of 2003, three young film-students traveled to Africa in search of a story. What started out as a filmmaking adventure transformed into much more when these Southern Californian boys discovered a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them, where children are both the weapons and the victims. This documentary exposes the tragic realities of northern Uganda’s night commuters and child soldiers, and has sparked a grassroots movement mobilizing thousands of American teens into action to raise money to rebuild war-torn schools in northern Uganda and provide scholarships to African youth. 55min.
