Voices of Uganda is a team of artists and activists who are utilizing a combination of theater, advocacy, and film to raise awareness, and encourage peace and stability in northern Uganda.

In 2007, members of the team traveled to an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Kitgum, northern Uganda to facilitate a theater program. There, the team collaborated with a group of fourteen teenagers to turn their personal stories into dramatic plays about HIV/AIDS, peace building and reconciliation. These plays gave the teens the opportunity to share their voices and stories with over a thousand of their friends and neighbors in their IDP camp.

A documentary, based on footage from the program, interviews with war-affected northern Ugandans, and dramatic monologues given by guest artists such as Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Marlee Matin and Martin Sheen
