After Kony: Staging Hope is a documentary film that follows a team of actors, playwrights, and activists in Uganda who use theater to help escaped and displaced youth explore the traumatic events they have been through. Through dramatizing their stories, the teens are able to share their voices with the community and the world. The short plays address HIV/AIDS, peace, and reconciliation. These dramas also pose the taboo question; "When an escaped child soldier returns home, are his parents able to accept him?" "Is the community ready to embrace him as well?" Please preview prior to using this video as it contains subject matter which may not be appropriate for all audiences.
