In the spring of 2003, three young filmmakers traveled to Africa in search of a story. What started out as a filmmaking adventure transformed into much more when these boys from Southern California discovered a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them, a tragedy where children are both the weapons and the victims.
After returning to the States, they created the documentary "Invisible Children: Rough Cut," a film that exposes the tragic realities of northern Uganda's night commuters and child soldiers.
The film was originally shown to friends and family, but has now been seen by millions of people. The overwhelming response has been, "How can I help?" To answer this question, the non-profit Invisible Children, Inc. was created, giving compassionate individuals an effective way to respond to the situation.

oh man.....brings me back to last years' Soulfest where they had the World Vision walk through exhibit. I was "Steven" who was taken and tortured by these animals. :(
I was heartbroken and felt so ashamed that in this day, these horrific crimes are still part of daily life for many people.
We chose to sponsor a child thru World Vision and will now be checking out Invisible Children to donate as well.
