The result is a compelling feature length documentary with personal accounts, live performances, music and dance.In the summer of 2007, the Voices of Uganda team traveled to an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in northern Uganda and worked with 14 Ugandan youth on a theater program. Many of the teens had escaped from the rebel army after being abducted as child soldiers or sex slaves. The youth worked tirelessly during the program.Playwright Winter Miller collaborated with the young people to turn their personal stories into short plays about HIV/AIDS, peace building and reconciliation. These plays gave the teens the opportunity to share their voices and their stories with over 1,000 people in their internally displaced persons camp. "Staging Hope" gives these teens the opportunity to share their voices and their stories with the world.Currently, these plays are reaching an American audience as students, professional actors and volunteers all over the United States are performing these readings.
