Invisible Children: A Documentary

This Tursday, we will take a look at "Invisible Children". This film is not quite as cheery as "The Chorus". This is a documentary done by three college students in
2003.

They head to Africa in search of adventure and what they find changes them forever. They learn firsthand of the struggles of the children in Uganda, who hide every night to avoid being abducted and forced to serve the Lord's Rebel Army. It is a great piece of work and goes a long way in showing what anyone with a camera can do. These are just college students with a desire for life who become moved by the struggles of others.

Come watch the film with us. It is an amazing, inspiring tale.

Again, we will be in Snyder Bldg 213 at 6:30.
