"In the spring of 2003, three young Americans traveled to Africa in search of such as story. What they found was a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them. A story where children are weapons and children are the victims. The "Invisible Children: rough cut" film exposes the effects of a 20 year-long war on the children of Northern Uganda. These children live in fear of abduction by rebel soldiers, and are being forced to fight as a part of violent army. This wonderfully reckless documentary is fast paced, with an MTV beat, and is something truly unique. To see Africa through young eyes is humorous and heart breaking, quick and informative - all in the very same breath. See this film, you will be forever changed."

Invisible children indeed. But this hasn't been happening only in Uganda but in all parts of Africa. For instance, the previous government in Ethiopia used to take young adults from their homes and streets to "defend their country" from rebels. It was called "Afessa" Same goes for Sierra leone and Liberia. There are even movies about them. So I can see how this is something new to you but it has been there for years. But ,as far as I know ,you were the first ones to address the issue so I applaude you for that. I wish you all the best.
