A Brilliant Genocide Film Poster

A Brilliant Genocide | Ebony Butler | Uganda | 2016 | 52 min

This is the untold story of how an African dictator has been able to commit mass murder and still get a regular audience at The White House and 10 Downing Street. A Brilliant Genocide is a political expose and human rights documentary that details the untold story of suffering and an unrecognized genocide against the Acholi people of northern Uganda by the current Government, under President Yoweri Museveni, who has for decades been staunch ally to the west.

The Cambodian Genocide

Today we visited the Killing Fields and Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh. It's a beautiful memorial site, but still a harrowing experience. To think of the millions of people that were brutally killed at the hands of the evil Khmer Rouge. A shocking part of our human history that must never be forgotten. Never again.

Child Troopers 2013

In 2012 we travelled to Uganda and New Zealand to continue filming for our documentary 'Child Troopers'.

In early 2013 we will continue to travel (UK & Uganda) to find out more information and hear more stories for our film.

We are also sending a 2nd container of bikes to Uganda through our partner organisation Bikes 4 Life, helping the lives of former child soldiers and victims of war.

We wish everyone success and happiness in 2013 and hope you continue to follow our progress with Child Troopers as we enter the final stages of post production later in the year!

Seeking the Truth

Our team are on the move again, traveling the globe in search of the truth and the untold, unreported stories about the war in northern Uganda, for our documentary film 'Child Troopers' (working title).

This week we will be traveling to New Zealand to conduct interviews with Ugandan expats. We then plan to visit London early January to continue our research and interview exiled Ugandans who want to tell their story, that has been silenced and suppressed by international media for far too long. 

To follow our journey please check into www.twitter.com/madvsbad and follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/childtroopers

Wish us luck, as the road ahead could get rough! 

Nodding Disease in Northern Uganda

I was recently in Northern Uganda (Odek) where I spent some time with the victims of Nodding Disease, and their parents / guardians or only surviving family members. It was a period, and experience in my life I will always hold close to my heart, and could never forget. The faces of these children still haunt me to this day. I hope through my work with children around the world sick or not, that I have been able to make them smile, cheer them up, make them giggle and laugh through their suffering… But this was a different story altogether. The suffering, the pain, the anguish and isolation of these poor, sick and neglected people, is a sad story that has its roots buried far beyond the first outbreak of Nodding Disease.

This young boy has been severely disfigured by Nodding Disease. He is 12 years old yet looks about 6, he cannot speak and he is the last surviving son in his family. 4 died of Nodding Disease and one was abducted by the LRA and has never returned. His father does not know if he is dead or alive.

The sad truth is that the government of Uganda does not really care about the poor young Acholi children in the North who are suffering, then dying of this shocking Nodding disease. When I was in Uganda a couple of months ago, there was so much local media showing President Museveni out in health clinics and setting up facilities for nodding disease victims and so forth. That was while I was in the same country. Actually! During my time in Northern Uganda; the President just flew in for many media opportunities. Speaking about these issues, I would say I have spent more time in Northern Uganda than the President himself. I would have spent more time on Acholi soil, speaking Acholi (a little, but a little more than President Museveni), working with them; learning; sharing; caring; teaching; drinking; eating; laughing; living; crying with them… and establishing life-long friends with them! Oh, my heart goes out to my dear Acholi friends from the North!

The Case for Justice - ICTJ Documentary

Check out this insightful, though provoking and wonderfully crafted documentary: 'The Case for Justice'. The documentary explores transitional justice mechanisms and the significance of social and political justice to ensure sustainable and long-lasting peace in post conflict countries that are transitioning from dictatorship to democracy. It centers on the importance of truth telling, reparation, reconciliation and dignity of the victims, claiming that these elements are vital for sustainable democracy, development, security and peace. It argues that oppressors and violators of human rights must be held accountable for their actions in the past or in the present, as victims need the truth to be able to heal from trauma associated with victimization, violence, suffering and other forms of injustice and repression inflicted on them and their families. 

Published on Jul 16, 2012 by ICTJVideo

Why pursue transitional justice in the aftermath of massive human rights violations? "The Case for Justice" provides a window into the debate about the relevance of transitional justice in today's world.

The complexity of this debate is best illustrated by the different myths that abound within it. Some contend transitional justice is "soft justice," an alternative to pursuing criminal justice in the wake of mass atrocities or repression; others equate it solely with criminal trials, fully focused on perpetrators. Some view it as a key obstacle to reaching successful peace agreements; others regard it as a kind of a magic wand, a quick cure for the scars of war and abuse.

In fact, the field of transitional justice recognizes that without accountability for massive human rights abuses, societies have little hope of avoiding the recurrence of conflict or building sustainable peace.
