A student led me to this very good video by Fall Out Boy on the plight of children harmed by war in northern Uganda. Filmed in Uganda, the video supports Invisible Children, a non-profit started by American film students and including a Ugandan staff.
Although there is currently a truce between the government and Lord’s Resistance Army, led by religious fanatic Joseph Kony, the damage the 20-year conflict has done to civilians is deep. About 20,000 children have been caught up the war, many as forcibly recruited child soldiers.
Great web site and great, on the ground work!
