Invisible Children: The Rough Cut is a film about the plight of child soldiers and night commuters in northern Uganda. The documentary was filmed in 2003 when three young men from Southern California—Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole (then 24, 21, and 20)—who wanted to explore, concur Uganda, “to find a story” and hoping to leave as soldiers. While looking for their story of understand the effect of the war that was twenty year long. But instead, their adventure took them to a more sever harsh environment, where thousands of people are affected by the brutality and attacks of a rebel group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). This film was first screened on June 22, 2204 at the Joan B Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice at the University of San Diego to friends and family of the Filmmakers. 
Soon after, the documentary became and international debate in United States among student, after an overwhelming public response, everyone wanted to help those Invisible children who have faced a harsh living standard at such a young age. And with this, the filmmakers took responsibilities of building a nonprofit organization called Invisible Children Inc. After watching this film in Global issues class, it was divesting to see little children no older than my siblings, have to live in extreme environment of violence fearing for their life every minute.

A normal day would consisted of waking up early, washing up for prayer, trying to get whatever food they could find , and the food they eat, to our living standard you would never have the guts to even see the sight of it. After that they gather whatever belongs
: which is one sleeping mat, maybe a blanket and what every clothing material on their body. After that comes traveling bare footed tremendously amount of miles to a next safe place, which is extremely crowed with people, who fear the LRA. While seeing this, thousand of bodies big and small squished together, I and many other of my classmate though they were dead, but somehow their strength and spirit keeps on living, and hoping for the best to come.
Massive of bodies, fighting for air and a place to sleep for the night.
I know this documenter was shown for the purpose to get us aware and it did, but how much can a person due, when he is not the person in power. I understand they need money, which a lot of us have and more willing to donate to help those who are less unfortunate. But in my opinion the problem should be tackled at a micro spot which is to let the government of Uganda stand up for its people and put a stop to LRA. Having living in middle east, my parents have had witness these harsh living standard, and many other citizen received help from the western world and other developed countries, but that did not erase the bigger problem. Because the country needs its strength of its citizen, but when you have half of the citizen living in fear, than no matter how much money is put into to erase people pain, the bigger problem will still be in action. In this case the LRA and maybe a new leader should be elected who can put a stop to this.
