Full of weird arty shots of Geldof characteristically unshaven in big hat and floppy shirt. In Uganda, he's talking about the resistance movement that kidnaps children and turns them into sex workers or fighters. If one tries to leave the punishment is the other kids have to bite them to death. The same story was on the news earlier and told straight it was already horrifying. Geldof's tone is melodramatic, hectoring and patronising. Makes you realise why the ideal for news people is to be dispassionate.
