Description

The story of a journey into one of the wildest corners of the African continent, and into the mind of a charismatic altar-boy-turned-rebel-leader who is waging a war without end, for a cause nobody understands. Joseph Kony is said to take orders from the spirit world, and, with his army of brutalised child soldiers, has left a bloody trail of devastation across the country. He is an official enemy of the US, and is wanted in Europe for war crimes, yet nobody really knows who he is, or what he is fighting for.
