"ABC Africa:" in Uganda, over 1 1/2 million children have been orphaned in the recent upheavals; many of them

also suffer from AIDS which was equally devastating to the country.
In small villages throughout the country, a United Nation's program has united numbers of these children into group homes headed by women that provide the security, diet, education, and love that had been ripped from them.
Director Kiarostami turns what could have been a syrupy and boring examination of a social program into a fascinating look at rural Uganda and the joy these kids and people find in everyday pleasures. If this lauded film doesn't affect you in some positive way, the problem certainly isn't in the filmmaking.
Though the film isn't interested in the least in making any sort of travelogue, Uganda's astonishing beauty is perfectly captured.
