Here's a documentary I was recommended by a woman on the  
imc-alternatives list:
http://www.invisiblechildren.com/

"Invisible Children is a documentary made by Jason Russel, Bobby  
Bailey, and Laren Poole, all three of whom are from Southern  
California. In 2003, they decided that they would travel to the Sudan  
to document the civil war that was taking place there. Once they  
arrived, however, they had trouble finding anything worth documenting  
other than snakes and their own sickness. Discouraged, they decided to  
travel to some refugee camps that had been set up in Northern Uganda.  
It was during this side-trip when they discovered the story of  
children who would travel into town each night to sleep in large  
groups. Thousand of kids, with nary an adult in sight, packed together  
in conditions we here in American wouldn’t wish on our pets, let  
alone our kids. It was a horrifying, confounding image, and so the  
three friends begin to digger deeper into the story of these Invisible  
Children."
