Elon’s Invisible Children club is inviting you to come on another journey of epic proportions.
On April 25, 2009, over 80,000 individuals in over 100 cities across the world voluntarily abducted themselves to bring light to those abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army in northern Uganda. We slept outside and waited to be rescued by a mogul: someone who captures the attention of the media and whose voice can bring attention to northern Uganda. When a city was rescued, those able traveled to the next city that hadn’t been rescued and waited to move on to the next city. The event came to a climax in Chicago when 600 committed individuals waited in the rain and cold for Oprah Winfrey to come to their rescue (which she did).
“Together We Are Free” is the story of one individual, Natalie, but also a story of those 80,000 who dedicated themselves to bringing attention to the war in northern Uganda. This inspiring film is being brought to us by none other Invisible Children’s Mid-Atlantic Roadies team. If you think you’ve seen every IC film, you haven’t seen this one.
Come out to LaRose Digital Theater next Wednesday, October 21 and watch a film that will open your eyes to these seemingly invisible children and open your mind these seemingly impossible feats.
