Kassim The Dream

A former world junior-middleweight boxing champion, 30-year-old Kassim “The Dream” Ouma outwardly exudes good cheer and charm in filmmaker Kief Davidson’s documentary profile. However, Kassim’s dark past is unlike that of any other boxing star. At age six he was kidnapped by Ugandan rebel soldiers and forced into duty as a child soldier during a bloody civil war. Now, after a decade in exile in America, Kassim undertakes a painful six-day journey home to Uganda, where he admits that as a child he committed both torture and murder.
