What happens
A Brilliant Genocide is a 2016 documentary film produced by Atlantic Star Productions. The purpose of the film is to reveal atrocities committed against the Acholi people by the Government of Uganda, and its President Yoweri Museveni, under the guise of crushing a rebellion by Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). The film is a counterpoint to the 2012 documentary short film Kony 2012. It was directed by Ebony Butler. The film covers a forgotten war described by Jan Egland as one of the most neglected human crises of modern times, and brings out a perspective not always seen in films relying on official discourses.
