  Invisible Children
   
  In the spring of 2003, three young Americans traveled to Africa in search of a story. What they found was a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them. A story where children are the weapons, and children are the victims. Invisible Children exposes the effects of a 20 year-long war on the children of Northern Uganda. Children who live in fear of abduction by rebel soldiers and are being forced to fight as part of a violent army.
