What an amazing experience! I am glad we were given the opportunity to read our poems before the screening. I like to think that the combined forces of the Campus Poetry Society and Poets Anonymous added to the event. However, I was changed by the documentary. I've been to Uganda, and I never realized how bad it was in the displacement camps. I also was unaware that the Ugandan government had forced people to move to the camps. Anyone left in the villages was considered a rebel.
Anyone who doesn't believe that activism can help change the world needs to learn about the story of a group of Americans who helped convince the U.S. goverment to pressure Uganda to end its 21 year war. Peace talks are happening now.
