While I was at Imago Dei Community this past Sunday, I bumped into some guys running an "Invisible Children" booth. This is a movie I've talked about before, but hadn't had a chance to view it yet. They gave me a copy, and wow. I was moved to tears by the story of these precious kids. The movie is about 3 reckless Americans heading for an "adventure" in Africa and discovering the children who are victims of Uganda's civil war. I saw the rough cut - but it was still a very powerful and moving piece of video. There will be screenings in Portland tomorrow (check here for the listings) and I have two copies if anyone would like to borrow one. Then on April 29th, there will be thousands of Americans taking to the streets to sleep in the same way the kids in Uganda are sleeping! Anyone in Portland want to join me that evening?
