On Monday, Jan. 22, James Madison University is showing a screening of the documentary "Invisible Children" at 6 p.m. in Room 2301 of the Health and Human Services Building. "Invisible Children," a documentary by three young high school grads with a video camera, exposes the Ugandan children "night commuters" – children forced to flee at night to escape abduction by rebels building an army of children. Invisible Children, Inc. hopes to change "culture, policy, and lives through collisions of poverty and power" (invisiblechildren.com).
