The Wound is Where the Light Enters was created by Dheeraj Akolkar (Vardo Films). It is a film about the making of ‘Otino Onywalo Ilum’, a documentary-dance project performed by fifteen children born of wartime rape in Northern Uganda. Otino Onywalo Ilum explores the experiences of children born of war (CBOW), the stigma they face in everyday life, as well as routes to their empowerment. Performances were directed by Darrel Toulon of The Alpha Group. The project aims to support and inspire CBOW to recognise and unleash their potential. It seeks to enable CBOW to make themselves visible and exercise their rights, as well as show how creativity can provide an important outlet and source of healing.
