Invisible Children: Rough Cut
Film and Panel Discussion
Sunday, 25 Mar 2007 at 3:00 pm – Sun Room/South Ballroom, Memorial Union
Screenings at 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm. The film will be followed by a panel discussion and update on the organization's work in Uganda, presented by Claire Singleton, Alicia Fore, Chris Loper, and Josh Gilman, a team of activists from Invisible Children.What started out as a filmmaking adventure in Africa in the spring of 2003, was transformed into much more, when three young Americans from Southern California found themselves stranded in Northern Uganda. What they found was a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them - a story in which children are the weapons and the victims. They discovered children being abducted from their homes and forced to fight as child soldiers. The Invisible Children: Rough Cut film exposes the effects of a twenty-year war on the children of Northern Uganda. The film has been covered on Oprah, CNN, the National Geographic Channel. The 55-minute film will be followed by a panel discussion on the organization's work in Uganda, presented by a team from Invisible Children.
