HBO Documentary Films To Screen "WITNESS: SOUTH SUDAN" On 'Cinema and Social Justice Sunday' On November 11 At The Morehouse School Of Medicine During The Third Annual BronzeLens Film Festival

Executive Producer and Director David Frankham Scheduled to Attend and Participate in Post-Screening Panel


WHAT: HBO Documentary Films will screen WITNESS: SOUTH SUDAN
during the third annual BronzeLens Film Festival. The
film is included in the "Cinema and Social Justice
Sunday" lineup.
In South Sudan, thousands have been killed, abducted or
displaced by Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
French photojournalist Veronique de Viguerie travels
with the Arrow Boys, an unpaid militia of farmers who
took up arms to protect their families from the LRA. For
the last two decades, Joseph Kony has led a campaign of
unfathomable brutality in an attempt to impose his
command as the law of the land. His forces have
kidnapped and forced into sexual or military slavery an
estimated 60,000 children and driven two million of
Uganda's people from their homes. The pregnant de
Viguerie treks through wilderness with the Arrow Boys,
as well as with the Ugandan Army.
