Invisible Children - tragic untold story

by FIRST Project | Views: 952

"What started out as a film-making adventure in Africa, transformed into much more, when the three young American's (Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Laren Poole) original travels took a divine turn, and they found themselves stranded in Northern Uganda. They discovered children being kidnapped nightly from their homes and subsequently forced to become fight as child soldiers."

This is an excerpt from a movie synopsis posted on the "Invisible Children" website.  You can see the whole article at http://www.invisiblechildren.com/media/pdfs/movie_synopsis.pdf This film "Invisible Children" is dedicated to exposing this tragic, and amazingly untold story.  It highlights what the community refers to as “NIGHT COMMUTERS".

The Global Night Commute is a worldwide event organised by the Invisible Children Inc. organization. The night commute which will take place on April 29th 2006, will feature people from around the world converging on urban centers in solidarity with displaced Ugandan children attempting to avoid capture by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) , as is prominently displayed in the film. The goal of the movement is to raise awareness and ultimately end Africa's longest running conflict by facilitating a change in the polices of the United Stats government in regard to the situation.

Both Lincoln & Omaha are participating.  Here’s the link to the Lincoln information:  http://www.invisiblechildren.com/theMovement/globalNightCommute/?location=NEBRASKA+-+Lincoln
