About the film
For more than 20 years, the Ugandan government has been fighting the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) led by Joseph Kony. In the meantime, this army of child soldiers roams Sudan and Congo. The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague hopes to try Kony, but locals mainly want peace and their children back. This layered documentary about complex moral issues shows that, even though deep down everyone wants the same, cultural differences get in the way of solving the problem.
For years, Quirijns followed prominent Ugandans involved in peace negotiations with the LRA, when the ICC actively started hunting Kony. They experienced this as a new form of Western colonialism. Quirijns also visited ICC staff trying to stop the rebel leader using an international arrest warrant in the Netherlands. Quirijns (“The Dictator Hunter”) filmed crucial moments in the occasionally painful process and managed to lay her hands on rare recordings of the peace negotiations with Kony in the jungle.
