I was not aware of this program Wide Angle until today. At first the subject matter is what drew me to watch and then I saw that Aaron Brown was hosting it which, for me, added a credibility in telling a story that needs to be heard! I am thrilled to see Aaron Brown again and will follow the Wide Angle program closely knowing that conscientious reporting is in place for such serious and important subjects. I will also looking forward to visiting some of these sites indicated in this blog. thank you Aaron Brown. I will look forward and hope to see this particular program in it's entirety.

Where are the bullets and guns sourced from? Instead of rhetorical half--baked solutions we owe it to these innocent lives and ravaged communities in finding a sustainable solution!

I run a website that features some of the same artwork done by child survivors as was featured on the program - http://kitgumschildren.net. The children speak for themselves in images worth not just a thousand, but a million poignant words.

I visited northern Uganda earlier this year, and most of the places mentioned in the program. I never met one person who was not affected by the LRA. 'Such brutal, unimaginable atrocities! God be with these Invisible Child Soldiers. (www.awaytohelp.org) Thank you, Mr. Brown, for bringing such attention to an issue so seemingly silent to the world.

He heard many stories like the ones on this episode, and it broke his heart. Thankfully, our team was able to bring the hope of Jesus to the camps, and thousands of people were able to begin a new life in Christ. There are some photos of this trip on our ministry's website (www.reidsaunders.org).

I have respected and admired your work for many years, but I am especially grateful for your work on Wide Angle. This presentation of the problems suffered by Uganda and its children who have been abducted and exposed to so much evil, it very informative and helps to create an important understanding for the social, cultural, and personal problems that affect the people of this country who have endured so much suffering. My compliments to you and to all who are associated with you in this important work that helps to educate us and enable us to transcend our ignorance. Sincerely and respectfully, Philip Grinslade Wide Angle/Aaron Brown:

I declare that it is not Christ whom they sing. In Matthew 7:23 Jesus says "And then I will declare to them: I never knew you. Depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness." Those men are not of Christ. I felt deeply for Kilama. I hope that someone may share with him 1 John 1:9. It says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteouss to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Someone once shared with me that to forgive us is to release us from the ofensses of our sins and to cleanse is to wash us from the stain of all unrighteousness. The blood of Christ is the most effective cleanser in the whole universe. Christ has justified us. And as far as Kilama is concerned, he is justified before God by believing in Christ. So no matter what he has done in the past, no matter what he suffers now, he is justified by faith in God through Christ.

I spent two months there working at a CBO that helped educate orphans and other vulnerable children. I only caught the very end of this program, and could not believe the things that I recognized. I would really like to see the rest of the video. When will it air again? I am very happy to see that PBS is addressing this issue. The people of Pajule and Northern Uganda are so amazing. They have been through so much, and still are constantly smiling and very happy. I learned so much from these people and am so glad that I got the opportunity to experience their amazing culture. My heart just exploded with emotion when I saw this. Pajule had such an impact on my life. I just came back from Pajule, Uganda a week ago.

The openess of the families, institutions and care givers in front of WideAngle's cameras demonstrates that goodness is resiliant and vibrant in my former home.
