Invisible Children: Grace
“Grace: The Story of a Child Mother” highlights the story of Grace. Abducted from her home at 10-years-old and forced to fight as a soldier, Grace was beaten repeatedly for three years. At 13, she was forced to become a sex-slave to a 40-year-old commander in the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). After her narrow escape from the bush, with a gunshot wound to the leg, she discovered she was pregnant with the commander’s child. Once rescued, girls like Grace are taken to a rehabilitation center where they are given just three months of psychosocial therapy before they are returned to the family they may or may not have. Returning home will not be easy for Grace. With an absent father, she will live with her uncle, left to care not only for her new child, but for her disabled mother as well. Grace is a child but she is a mother. The idea of Grace is about choosing to forgive when others have done nothing but hurt and let you down. Grace has a smile bigger than the size of her pain. Follow this story of survival and resilience ... of a child with a child.
