Reflect on the Invisible Children film shown in class. After viewing the film what thoughts do you have on the conditions in Uganda? Many of these children soldiers are your age how does that impact you?
To begin with, I thought the Invisible Children film shown in class was emotional and moving to watch. It is awful to believe that the Ugandan government has transformed young teenagers into a dehumanizing society. In addition, These young teenagers are in confused stages, as they are brain washed and demanded to maintain momentum built upon the government. Also, After veiwing the film I am concerned with certain conditions in Uganda for instance, I'm curious if their powerful governemnt feels any guilt to see a child cry for any comfort or support. Furthermore, as many of these soldiers are around my age it does have a major impact on me because these kids have committed their time, individual interests, and life to follow rules of a dissorganized government.
I think that it is disgusting that way these children are treated! I am impacted by this movie and these children because when I see children as young as 7 brainwashed, taken away from their homes and threatened till the point of death, it hurts me knowing that they will never live an important and meaningful childhood, but rather a life of fear and a life of being afraid. Why wouldn't anyone be devastated and disgusted by a movie as disturbing as this...
this documentary was very intense. just seeing kids with ak-47s in their hands makes you think of how hard it has been for them,losing all connections to their families and seeing some, even your own brother getting slaughtered right in front of your eyes. and no one will ever know wether they live or die. its horrible and we need to do something about this.
After I watched Invisible Children, I feel that children in Africa should not be treated like that. They spent their time in fear and terror rather than happiness and comfort in the United States. They lost connection with their families and sometimes are often order to kill their own parents to survive. I feel everyone should do something meaningful like those three guys in the film.
Invisible Children was a really hard movie to watch. It was horrifying to see children being taken out of their homes so they can become part of an army that really has no purpose. The conditions are horrible in Uganda and I think we have to keep working to help them. -Lauren Mittman
Invisible Children really opened my eyes on the living conditions outside of the United States. I think it is terrible that children are being brainwashed and used as soldiers. If Joseph Kony really had great ideas, he would have the support of the nation (which he doesn't) and wouldn't have to resort to kidnapping children. It makes me really appreciate my life and what I have when I see the children in Uganda being taken at such a young age and being trained to kill.
I believe that we should be doin more for these children. The US has all this power and reasources but we are not doin anything about the horrible conditions in Uganda. A kids childhood mold them for the rest of their life and since these kids are being kidnapped when they are 8 or 9 they dont get this childhood and are formed into monsters.
although i already knew about the problems in Uganda, the movie really had a greater impact on me. showing the heinous activities that the children are forced to endure that wiill inevitably leaad to psychological trauma is a terrible thing that no one should endure. i couldnt even imagine what being kidnapped at 9 and then trained to be a murderer would be like. The way that Joseph Kony inducted them, and doesnt even want peace creates a situation with no resolution.
i thought that this document was very informative on the situation in Uganda and the other countries around it. It made me want to help those children in someone way. What happens there just isn't right. I think that the U.S. could be doing more for these children and people in Uganda
The video we saw in class has opened my eyes to see that the world is not a perfect place. We the next generation have to step up to confront these problems that are arising. There is no excuse for letting this happen to the people of uganda.The United States could help but we are ignoring the problem which just helps the problem.
This documentary filmed opened my eyes to what kind of pain and suffering is happening to people our age in Africa. They are leading extreme lives of violence and insensitivity because they have been brain washed by Joseph Koney. It shows how cruel the world can be and there are people out there who are trying to change it and make people more aware of the horrors that are going on.
The film had a huge impact on me, it seems unreal how one sick, twisted man can have so much power over the people of Uganda. after watching the film it made me realize how much is happening in the world that i had no idea about. i think more people should help, including myself, because these are children and the future generation of Uganda is at risk. its terrifying to imagine children, and teenagers are killing people and owning guns because one man brainwashed them. children and teenagers brains are like sponges, they are learning what is right from wrong, and joseph kony used this to his advantage. this issue and many more issues in the world shouldn't go unheard. i would hate to grow up and lose my children all because one weak, mentally insane man.
It was very difficult for me to watch this film. The horror that those children have to live through is unbelievable and really affected me both mentally and emotionally. The conditions in Uganda NEED to be improved and these children must be saved! Joseph Kony should not be able to control all of these people so easily. The government and the people have to stop him from drilling violence and killing into the minds and lives of those kidnapped children. -Jasmine M.
I believe whats happening to these children is horrendous. I believe more needs to be done by the international community to stop Joseph Koney. This impacts me because these children make me think about myself when i was 10, and make me realize how good my life is.
watching the film became painful at times because of the horrifying images and descriptions of how they treat the child soldiers. I'm shocked that the UN has not done more to stop Joseph Koney. During the movie I thought about what I was doing when I was 8 and I realized how completely different it is from the children in Africa.
I personaly think that it is terrible that such cruel things are still being performed. I think it's good we are making efforts to fix this problem. Nothing like this should go on. We are so fortunate that this is not happening to us. - Amanda Allaf
When I was watching the film, I didn't realize how bad the conditions are in Africa. Seeing the kids that were abducted from their families and then brainwashed is so horrifying. I'm surprised that we don't see this on the news, and that no one has done more to stop Joseph Koney. I was impacted by this movie because what I was doing at their age is not the same as what they're doing. It shows how lucky we are to live in America, and to appreciate our life.
I already knew about the living conditions but when i first learned about this i was extremely horrified by how people live their lives and how evil people can be. The fact that the children are my age just made me mortified of how people can do so wrong if never taught what they are doing is wrong or abnormal.
Watching the film was very sad to watch and it made me think that how come this man Joseph koney can do something as take away these children from their mothers and families and just brain wash them into becoming these monsters! It's repulsing to think that just one man can change the lives of millions of people in Uganda. I feel that if people really really paid attention to what's going on in Uganda and what's happening to these children then they should try and help save these kids and bring them back to their families. in a way it makes me think that I want to help them. I want to help these kids and brink them back to their homes, but I also want to have the government do something about this Joseph koney. They need to stop him and put him away in jail or something, and for him to stop what he's doing.
Since I my friends and I had started the invisible children club at CHS, I have been extremely passionate about invisible children. Since these kids are so young, they are not able to understand the reasons why they kill. From the start they are taught to kill out if fear and not question the authority otherwise they will die. These kids are not able to Jude for themselves wether or not what they stand for is good or not. They are not able to make their own oppinions and look at the whole. Knowing what these kids are going through really makes me appreciate what we have. We are so fortunate that a gun is not put to our heads everyday forcing us to kill our peers. These kids don't even get a chance to be educated. I wonder even if the IRK is stopped, where will these mentally disturbed children go? They won't be able to function normaly in society. It is really upsetting
I think it's inhuman that kids at that age are forced to surrender everything, their childhoods, families, and futures, all so that Koney can wage war on Uganda. It's really heart wrenching how maddening this is.
I think its immorally wrong to abuse these children by making them kills others against their own will. It affects me because I wonder how I could every live without free will.
I felt sad and angered at some points cuz if i put myself in their shoes n i wasnt able to do any thing about it it would bother me just thinking of it.i think its not right and some of the kids should just try to kill joe i dbout its possible but if they had the power they could change everthing cuz if hes dead no one will fear of seeing their familys dieng in front of their own eyes
It really makes me sad to see these young being maliciously tricked into killing innocent. These kids aren't old enough to know what's going on. As they grow older some of these kids might even grow up to be crueler and more violent than the people that tricked them in the first place. It also angers me how some of these invisible children might have grown up to be someone that positively changes the world, but are put in a life filled with killing and evil. I think Uganda is a very corrupt place filled with insane people that some how have power over people. Something needs to be done soon.
the conditions in uganda are horrible. the children are treated so awful. its heartbreaking to see children at such a young age be introduced to fighting and killing. it changes them as people and tears their families apart
i think that its quite devistating that no one is fight back. its actually disgraceful seeing how everyone in the world is selfish. shows how bad human beings r.
i can not believe that there are places in the world where children are actually being treated like this. the thing that really bugs me is that no one is fighting back, and those who do are instantly killed. it is heart wrenching to see these young innocent souls being abused and brainwashed to kill their own kind. it makes me think twice about the way i live. -danielle kroll
I liked it so much and very interesting, too! Thanks for sharing the experience. Wonderful post, really great tips and advice. I was interested by your comment,
