*Invisible Children
Monday, April 17th, 7-8:30pm. Graduate Student Lounge, Dudley House
Can a story change the world?
In the spring of 2003, three young Americans from California left in
search of such a story. What they found was a tragedy that disgusted
and inspired them. Come, and discover the unseen.
This film is fast paced, with an MTV beat, made for the young and the
young at heart. To see Africa through young eyes is funny, and heart
breaking, quick, and informative, all in the very same breath.
See this film, you will be forever changed.
