When a Texas Mom Decided to Hunt Africa's Most Wanted

00:00

Joseph Kony had been terrorizing Central Africa for over two decades-killing more than 100,000 people, abducting 30,000 children, and turning them into weapons of war. Governments stumbled. International organizations debated. The UN peacekeepers, despite their numbers, seemed paralyzed. And then there was Shannon Sedgwick Davis-a mother from Texas who decided she'd had enough. Not a soldier, not a diplomat, just a woman who read a report about massacred children while rocking her newborn son and thought: someone has to do something. So she did. She assembled an unlikely coalition of military contractors, humanitarian workers, and private funders to do what the world's most powerful institutions couldn't-or wouldn't. What followed was a years-long mission that challenged every assumption about who gets to fight for justice and what's possible when ordinary people refuse to accept the unacceptable.
