Invisible Children is a film about the horrors the youth in Uganda face every single day. The film documents the untold war in Uganda, and the implications for the people there, with a focus on the youth. This "rough cut" version of the film is being shown in schools, churches, and film houses across the country. A feature length version is scheduled for nationwide distribution at the end of the year. Through the film, the film tour (which currently has 7 RVs full of young people touring the country and speaking at viewings), and a bracelet campaign (the bracelets are made by the people of Uganda themselves), the non-profit aims to raise $20 million to house, educate, and protect tens of thousands of youth in Uganda. This is direct action.
The viewing is FREE, and if you are moved by it there are DVDs of the "rough cut," bracelets made by the Ugandan people, and t-shirts which you can purchase to help Invisible Children raise funds towards their goals.
