it was one of the saddest things ive ever seen. especially when he said he wanted to be a teacher. we need to change this crisis right now.

When that scene hit. I cried. I thought about if my brothers were murdered; How can I live knowing that...

I don't know how anyone can laugh at these scene.... I'm really at a lost for words.

I agree with the OP, we watched this in class and I pretty much tried to hold it in and I was in doing so until Jabob started to cry. After he did, I lost it and it's so moving, this movie. I couldn't imagine ever going through what any of them had to.

I cried so hard at that scene. It wasn't even funny.

And which guy was filming it?

It really was a lifechanging film. I was able to hold back my tears through the whole film up until Jacob started crying. What made it so heartbreaking was that he had been talking about how they never cry for fear of the LRA killing them. These are just children and they should never have to go through that. They should be playing, not wishing for death or mourning the death of a loved one. Since then, I have not been able to think about anything but the children in Uganda.

Jacob's cry is haunting.
