Invisible Children: On-going Child War In Africa

Invisible Children is a documentary that was created by 3  filmmakers (Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Laren Poole) who traveled to Africa to make a documentary that  revolves around Africa's longest running war, where children have become weapons. Rebel armies, known as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), have been abducting children and using them as troops while they wage war against the Ugandan government. This originally caused the children to night commute, or walk miles nightly to avoid these troops. It is estimated that 90% of the LRA is abducted children. The film tells their story of horror. Invisible Children are story tellers. They make documentaries about war-affected children in east Africa and tour them around the world. They are made up of a tireless staff, hundreds of full time volunteers, and thousands of students and supporters. They are young, they are citizens of the world, they are artists, activists, and entrepreneurs. Last fall, they used their voice to ask President Obama to spearhead efforts to bring peace to Northern Uganda. They are mobilizing a generation to capture the attention of the international community, and make a stand for justice in the wake of genocide.
