Standalone | 'Invisible' no more

Students and faculty attended a screening of the documentary "Invisible Children" in Barnum 008 last night. The film's titular subjects are child soldiers in Uganda. After the screening, the filmmakers (pictured signing and selling merchandise) fielded questions from the audience and discussed the ways in which they hope the documentary will positively impact the situation faced by Ugandan child soldiers. "Invisible Children" isn't just the name of the film; it's also the name of the organization behind the film. According to its Web site, Invisible Children, Inc. "is dedicated to providing financial resources to invisible children by documenting their true, untold stories in a creative and relevant way, resulting in positive change." The screening and discussion were sponsored by the University College of Citizenship and Public Service, the Communications and Media Studies program, the Ex College and Pangea.
