| 4:35 PM | | God Sleeps in Rwanda (28 min.) Kimberlee Acquaro and Stacy Sherman, Dirs. Ten+ years after the Rwandan genocide, women are picking up the pieces of their lives and communities even as they struggle with the aftermath of rape and its impact – in many cases, HIV/AIDS. Available from Women Make Movies, www.wmm.org.
|
| 5:05 PM | | Gulu Stories (excerpt; 20 min.) Rex Miller, Dir. The practice of kidnapping children to serve as soldiers (or, in the case of girls, as sex slaves) is widespread in northern Uganda, where civil war has raged for years. Youth known as “night commuters” trek each evening from remote villages into safe houses in the city. Information: rexpixfilm@earthlink.net.
