    "This episode of "Hell" was a very dark and somewhat unsettling episode. It deals with a young girl who was left for dead, who had once suffered at the hands of a murderous African warlord. And while solving the case of the girl's attack, there are some major unintended consequences. Someone who cares very deeply for her and once worked to save her in Africa makes the ultimate sacrifice to avoid deportation, and also to help tell the story of criminals on that continent and how children are used and abused in some countries."

    Never have I heard of Uganda in my schooling, or in my community. In coincidence, one of my favorite shows is Law and Order: SVU (Special Victims Unit) and they had an episode labeled "Hell" about Uganda immigrants. A brief description of the episode is above, but basically my very first impression of Uganda was of how children were forced from their villages to be apart of militias and possibly even murder there loved ones at a very young age. With violence introduced at such a young age, I wonder how these young boys or girls function the rest of there life?
