Witness (2012)
S01E03 South Sudan
Episode Overview
In South Sudan, the brutal actions of Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army have resulted in countless deaths, abductions, and displacements. French journalist Veronique de Viguerie joins the Arrow Boys, a group of farmers turned militia, who have taken up arms to defend their communities from the LRA's terror. For over twenty years, Kony has waged a horrific campaign to enforce his rule, kidnapping around 60,000 children and forcing them into lives of servitude while displacing two million Ugandans. As the pregnant de Viguerie journeys through the wilderness alongside the Arrow Boys and the Ugandan Army, she reflects on fear during a night patrol, stating, "Sometimes...but here there is no time." Directed by David Frankham; produced by Julie Herrin and Josiah Hooper.
