- DirectorJason RussellStarsAmy HansenRyan HansenRoselineThe story of Roseline. In northern Uganda the war has been raging for more than 21 years. But for Roseline the war is not only in her world; it's in her body. Since the day she was born she has been infected with HIV/AIDS. In Uganda, currently over a million people are infected with the disease. In 2006 alone, AIDS killed more than 91,000 Ugandans. It's a disease that took the lives of Roseline's parents, and it threatens to take hers. But when you meet Roseline, you do not meet a victim. You do not meet a child defined by illness. Rather, you meet the infectious laughter and carefree singing of a hopeful girl. This is a story of joy found in the midst of war. This is Roseline's story.
- DirectorBobby BaileyStarsEmmyKenny Laubbacher"Emmy: The Story of an Orphan" highlights the story of 14-year-old Emmy. Emmy is the 4th born of 5 children, each from a different father, each killed from different effects of the LRA's reign of terror over northern Uganda. One, killed in combat; another, died a political prisoner. But Emmy's dad had a much quieter killer - one that has now turned on his mother, and could possibly take his own life as well- HIV/AIDS. In Uganda, "Orphan" is a dirty word. It is highly frowned upon to let your family (no matter how far removed) to suffer. It then becomes the responsibility of the community to ensure that no child becomes invisible. Oftentimes this is a burden, but other times it becomes a surprising source of joy. Viewers watch as 14-year-old Emmy finds his place in the world, through a family bound together by necessity; and as a broken family tree discovers re-growth.
- DirectorBobby BaileyThe story of 15-year-old Sunday. There isn't a part of Sunday's life that hasn't been affected by the conflict in northern Uganda.

With no family left to depend on, he must try and provide for himself. Without enough time to work and go to class, Sunday can't make the money needed to pay for school fees and is asked to leave class. The war has already taken so much from him now threatens to take the most valuable thing he has left: a future. But a life that has been marked by tragedy is defined by resilience, and despite reasons to lose hope, Sunday perseveres. This is the story of faith that overcomes suffering.
- DirectorJason RussellStarsBobby BaileyLaren PooleJason RussellOn April 15, 2009, thousands gathered around the world to abduct themselves for the abducted at a 100-city, ten-country awareness event: The Rescue.

Reinforcements from across the country, known as "Rescue Riders," assembled upon the city to increase the group's visibility.
