Invisible Children, Film & Political Movement

This film is an attempt to bring attention and action against Joseph Kony and his Lords Resistance Army committing horrendous human rights violations in the countries of Uganda, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The LRA is in the practice of recruiting children to be child soldiers, believed to be between 60,000-100,000 recruited. The armed conflict has been occurring for twenty years. There is a history of the conflict on the website explaining how a group of rebels standing up for their own became the oppressors. The history of the conflict

Thanks to this movie, international efforts have been made to raise money and awareness and call upon the United Nations to take action. Technology and people have been banded together to create a system of tracking the movement of the Lords Resistance Army that is broadcast over radio to local towns in central Africa. This is meant to help inform the residents as soon as possible of the movements of the LRA to attempt to dimish the damage they cause, possibly giving people time to prepare and hide. LRA Tracker
