I first read about Invisible Children from Mikey a while back. Here’s an excerpt from the film synopsis:

Even at this moment, in Uganda, Children as young as 8 are methodically kidnapped from their homes by a rebel group called the �Lord�s Resistance Army� (LRA). The abducted children are then desensitized to the horror of brutal violence and killing, as they themselves are turned into vicious fighters. Some escape and hide in constant fear for their lives. Most remain captive, and grow to maturity with no education other than life �in the bush� and fighting in a guerilla war.

Of the many ramifications that a 20-year-long war can cause, the film �Invisible Children: Rough Cut� highlights what the community refers to as �NIGHT COMMUTERS.� We watch thousands of children �commute� out of fear, from their villages to nearby towns each night in order to avoid the LRA (Lord�s Resistance Army) abductions. They sleep in public places, vulnerable, and without supervision.

Word is starting to get out. Here’s a listing of recent news articles and reviews:

• World Vision: “Third Day Bassist Visits Uganda Children of War”
• Relevant Magazine: “Life – Invisible Children”
• Christianity Today: “Deliver Us from Kony”

And recently, my wife was asking to watch the movie, so I guess it’s about time we watched it. Anybody interested in joining us?
