Invisible+Children

Invisible Children is an organization started in 2003 by high school graduates and college drop outs Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Laren Poole in order to get the Lord's Resistance Army to cease and desist abducting children and child enlistment. The traveled to Africa where they produced a documentary (called Invisible Children: Rough Cut) that revolves around Africa's longest running war, where children are being kidnapped and turned into child soldiers by the army of Joseph Kony, known as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). This caused the children to night commute, or walk miles every night to places of refuge in order to avoid these troops. The film tells their story. The story of Invisible Children sparked a movement where millions of american children are raising money to help Ugandans by rebuilding war-torn schools, providing an education, and build radio towers to tell Ugandans when the LRA is in the area, leting them escape before they violate their human rights. An employee of the organization, Nate Henn, was killed in the July 2010 Kampala attacks.
