Invisible Children is a documentary that takes place in Northern Uganda and captures the lives of children living amidst war escaping from the rebel army (LRA). The film shows images of the abducted children and how they become desensitized to the horror of brutal violence and killing, as they themselves are turned into vicious fighters. It also displays images of those who are displaced and live in constant fear. "Invisible Children" is told from the eyes of three Americans who traveled to Africa, not expecting to come across such an atrocity.
 
Following the film, there will be a discussion about what is happening in Uganda as well as in Sudan and Darfur. A petition will be available regarding the war in Darfur. This petition will be sent to an organization called savedarfur.org or to a local MP. Any donations will be sent to the "Invisible Children" foundation which aids and educates children of Uganda.
