Dinah, a 14-year-old girl from Uganda, tells her story of being abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) at age 9 and forced to become a child soldier. They abuse or threaten to kill her if she tries to escape or refuses to follow their orders, which sometimes included killing and torturing people. After a year living in the bush, she becomes convinced that her family is dead but eventually escapes to another camp that reunites her with the family. After years of being haunted by memories and nightmares of her experiences, she has finally been able to stop thinking about these experience and focus on her dream: to become a lawyer.
