Butterflies of Uganda tells the story of Mary, who as a young Acholi girl was stolen from her home in Northern Uganda and forced to fight as a soldier in the Lord's Resistance Army.

The story unfoldsyears later as Mercy, Mary's teenage daughter, finally learns the truth about her mother. As Mary tells Mercy her tale, Mercy relives and retraces the steps of her mother's epic saga.

This amazing script interweaves a complexly strained mother-daughter relationship throughout a heart-wrenching portrayal of the plight of the child soldier. The author's hope is to stimulate the discussion process and if possible, educate, by raising much needed awareness.
