Invisible Children

I highly reccomend watching this documentary, it's called Invisible Children. It's about abducted child soldiers in northern Uganda.

It's definitely interesting. The thing is, I had no idea that this problem even existed. I had no idea, no idea at all. These children suffer such great torture and torment. They're taken from their homes, beaten, raped, forced to watch their friends get slaughtered, then given a gun and forced to kill others as their only means of survival, that is, if they survive their beatings, or aren't killed immediately. When they do escape, they have no homes to return to. At night they take shelter any place that seems like it might be safe. Even children that haven't been abducted who live out in the villages, hike several miles every night, to take shelter in the city, just in case their village is attacked that night. It's heart breaking. These children don't have access to food, water, clothing, they don't even have blankets. And this has been going on for 20 YEARS!!! Yet, many of us have never heard of this. If a terrorist attack happens in a major 1st world country, the whole globe knows about it. But something like this can happen in a 3rd world country, and it is virtually ignored. Watch the film, there's a little boy named Tony, and his brother. They were soldiers, there brother was killed in front of them, they are hunted because they left their army. They have nothing. It's heart breaking, it's haunting, and it's true.
