Invisible Children is a documentary on children situation in Africa. This documentary is one of the kind and i think everyone need to watch it. Trust me it will change your life in one way or
another.
The documentary is about children (between age 5-12)that are being abducted from their families.They are taken into someplace called '' Bushes". There they brainwashed and trained them how to kill people using almost anything like guns,knifes,machetes and much more. Now can you imagine a five year old holding a gun killing people? Those that are not abducted leave their house because they fear that if they sleep there they will come and get them too. So they are force to live on the streets. They doesn't have any clothes, food or a place to stay. Every night some of them escape to go sleep under a hospital on the floor because they feel safer there. Teenage girls are raped by the kidnappers and others get sexually active at a young age using dirty plastics bags as condom.
Most of us here in America take life for granted. We have a place to live, a bed we sleep in every night, and more than enough food that we need. While there are children in Africa that are dying of starvation. They lucky if they get a meal per day. We have a government that pays for school and some of us still doesn't take advantage and get educated. Those children want to learn but they don't have any school or teacher to teach them.
Personally this documentary really changed me. I'm from Haiti. I lived there for 14 years. I'm used to seeing poverty, so i can relate to this documentary but i have never see anything like what those children go through. I couldn't stop crying while i was watching the documentary. It hurts to see how children are being treated and there nobody to do anything about it. While they showing those children that are naked and only have the clothes that they wearing, I felt ashamed of myself. I have a closet full of clothes, I cant even count how many pairs of heels that i have yet i feel like i don't have enough. I decided to donate half of my clothes to charity and think twice before i waste food or anything else.I look at life differently now.
I know i don't have money to go to Africa and help like i want to but i figure if i pass on the message someone hopefully will do something about it. I'm begging anyone of you that will read this blog to take the time and watch this documentary.Its only 45 minutes. And also if you can donate it will make a big difference in those children life's.
