Invisible Children

Wow. What a sad documentary. When you watch things like that is really gets you thinking about how good you have it and there are some pretty awful things going on in the world. The worst part of the problem for me was that no other countries try to get involved or even make it news. I didn't even now about the invisible children until yesterday and neither did my parents when i told them and i feel that is needs to be big news so people can do things to help the problem. The part of the movie that got to me most was when the boy at the end started to cry. There were many times were people mentioned that kids in Uganda don't cry. He was talking about what he would do if his brother was there and he started crying. I thought that was absolutely awful and reason within itself to try to help out. The poor kid just wanted his brother back and it is not fair or just or even humane that he was killed in war.
The movie was about the war going on in northern Uganda. This man started a war to over throw the government and he now kidnaps kids and molds them into soldiers to help him fight. This war has been going on for 24 years and is a tragedy. There are many ways to get involved and I guarantee that all it takes to want to help is seeing a picture of these poor children.
