There are very few...I think that christians should strive to put out the best and they don't seem to be doing that with movies...I'm sorry if this causes any trouble...Don't fight over this ya'll, it's just my opinion. Anyway I hope this movie comes out near me.
Don't worry, I totally understand what you're saying. Most Christian movies slaughter all traces of a plot just to get the message across, and wind up losing their audience in the process. I'd rather have an interesting movie with undertones of Christianity that keeps the audience interested, rather than one that screams "JESUS LOVES YOU!!!!!!" and has the audience running for the door.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
