Invisible Children: In
the spring of 2003, three young Americans traveled to Africa in
search of a story. What they found was a tragedy that
disgusted and inspired
them. A story where children are weapons and children are the
victims. The "Invisible Children: rough cut" film exposes the
effects of a 20 year-long war on the children of Northern Uganda.
These children live in fear of abduction by rebel soldiers, and are
being forced to fight as a part of violent army. This wonderfully
reckless documentary is fast paced, with an MTV beat, and is
something truly unique. To see Africa through young eyes is humorous
and heart breaking, quick and informative - all in the very same
breath. See this film, you will be forever changed. |
