The war between the Ugandan Army and the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has been waged for more than twenty years. It has been described as the world’s worst forgotten humanitarian crisis and is now before the International Criminal Court for LRA massacres of civilians. « My name is Filda Adoch » reports on the everyday life of a woman in the Gulu district, and shows the suffering of the people of North Uganda. It is also the story of silent and extraordinary resistance.
My name is Filda Adoch. I am 53 years old. I was born in Along Village, Paidwe Parish, in Bobi sub-country, Gulu district, Uganda, where I still live today.
