Invisible Children

One of the most influential presentations over the semester was about the Invisible Children in Uganda. I thought that the presentation was in a way directing related to the involvement the creators of the document intend. By showing the class segments of the film and describing the travesties that the children in Ugandan face everyday, the presenters were making an impact on the entire class. The footage in the documentary was very disturbing and immediately hugged at my heart. Watching hundreds of children walk from their homes every night just so they could be safe was something that no one in the class could relate to. It was something that no American could relate to. The children in Uganda have no security or safety even in their own homes. The have no where to feel safe and no one to really care for them. The presentation and film was moving and made me want to find a way to help the cause. I found the testimony of the young boys who lost their brother to the rebels the most compelling aspect of the presentation because it offered a view of real heart ache and desperation for a better life. After listening to the presentation I later went online and found websites that could offer additional information about the blight of the Ugandan children. I was grateful that the group gave a presentation about the invisible children or else they would have remained invisible to our class. We would not have learned about the suffering and the efforts that are being made to help.
