RBTV met up with SISTER ROSEMARY NYIRUMBE, the subject of the book and movie, SEWING HOPE at the 2014 URBANWORLD FILM FESTIVAL.   Sewing Hope is available now on Netflix.

For 25 years Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army terrorized Northern Uganda. Children were stolen from their families and brainwashed to be soldiers. Girls were degraded to sex slaves for Kony's officers. The gunfire has ceased, but one battle remains-the battle to restore the future of the children of Uganda. Forest Whitaker tells this story of one woman's fight to bring hope back to her nation. Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe leads a vocational school in Gulu, Uganda, where she uses practical skills to restore dignity, independence, and hope to formerly abducted women
