‘Aboke Girls’ is a true story. On 9 October 1996, a hundred and thirty nine girls between the ages of twelve and fifteen years, were abducted from St Mary’s College in Aboke, one of the better schools in northern Uganda. In an act of extraordinary courage, Sister Rachele, the Italian deputy headmistress, followed the abductors. Her journey took her to the Lord’s Resistance Army, one of the one of the most cruel guerrilla armies in the world, led by the religious fanatic Joseph Kony. She secured the release of the majority of her girls, but she had to leave behind thirty.
