Screening the invisible

Saren Oliver, Bit Kernodle and the rest of the Invisible Children team are on a mission: to spread the word about Uganda’s child soldiers and their solution to the problem across Canada.
 
They are on a cross-country tour speaking at schools, churches and community centres about the issue, and their bill in the United States congress calling for the arrest and detainment of Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) leader Joseph Kony.
