Invisible Children, is a documentary that covers the story of children in the midst of the civil war in Sudan, Africa. Sudan has been involved with a civil war for the past twenty years. The documentary is very well produced and edited. Although the young men who made the documentary have never made a documentary before, their lack of experience can sometimes be shown but in no way deteriorates its' ability to be suffice for an audience. The documentary is a captivating movie that speaks out to the hearts of many and really educates the audience about children in Sudan, deserving a very high appraise.
The documentary began as a trip to Sudan, by three young men that wanted a story on Sudan's civil war. What they found was better than what they were looking for. The men ended up learning about the children of Sudan, and how they are effected by the civil war. These investigators labeled the children as Invisible Children. The children are left to tend for themselves due to the deaths of their parents because of AIDS or the war, and are not fully statistically accounted for; therefore: Invisible Children is their title.
The documentary interviews many children. Their stories are truly profound and penetrate the emotions and heart of the viewer. Throughout the movie, the stories cultivate and give the viewer a better understanding of what is truly going on in Sudan. The children are severely hurt mentally, physically, and emotionally by the sinister rebel group called the LRA (the Lord's Resistance Army) who abduct many children in the darkness of night, killing all kids who show weakness and unwillingness to kill. Luckily, many kids have found refuge at St. Mary's Hospital, which is referred to as a "sanctuary" in the film, for kids who need a place to sleep at night and cannot sleep in their homes because the LRA will abduct them.
