Richard- The movie really reflected on me. I feel really bad for all the kids that are there in Uganda. The main character Sunday was really heart warming. I think that children in Africa should be free. There are children that have lived their life in misery because they are born in this situation. The war over there seems really dumb to me. The reason is because they had no reason to rebel and they still did it. Even though other countries have had their civil war it still seems really hard fore those in Africa. The film taught me a lot that I did not know and it really touched me. I think the U.S. government should send some troops over there. They should send them and stop the civil war. For the reason that the children have a really bad life for their whole life. The war has been going on for over 21 years and it is time to stop it. The children are suffering and they need help. This is my reflection on this film about suffering in Africa.
Angie Today I watched a different version of invisible children. I watched people from America go to Uganda Africa and visit and see the fates of the people suffering. I seen a lot of African children with big potbellies. I seen older African men and women with no clothes covering their chest. I learned that in a week they only get $1,000 shilling and in American money that’s $3.00 not even enough for a combo at Carls jr. there are children there that walk miles and miles just to get to school. And there’s this one individual that just pulls my heart because even though the teachers there send him away he still goes day after day so he can learn and get his education. His goal is to be a doctor. He’s a great inventor and has a respectable air about himself. I wish I could meet him. Also he has malaria and I wish he can survive this ordeal.
Alexis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The movie The Invisible Children made me realize a lot of stuff. It was a real big eye opener. First it was the Long Way Gone that made me realize how sad some of these children’s lives are. In this movie there was a group of people from the U.S who went down to Uganda to see how the people in Uganda lived. From this movie I learned about the LRA, who forced people from their own villages out. They LRA gave these people a few hours to go to the camp and if they were not in the camps they were then rebels. I felt very bad for the two young kids Sunday and Daniel, especially Sunday. Sunday like a lot of the other children had an aspiring future. He wanted to be a doctor. The sad thing was that he was not able to afford school tuition so he had gotten kicked out. Sunday told the guy from the U.S that he was stubborn and kept on showing to school, even though he was kicked out, because he said his studies were very important to him. I also learned that Sunday had malaria. There was another boy named Daniel who had lost both parents. He and about 10 other boys who had lost their parents all lived in a small crowded hut. I thought the camp was very small and crowded. I also thought it was very sad how they only got 3 dollars a week. I have no idea how these people survive. If I was in their shoes I would probably be dead by now, from starvation, or some type of disease. I also think that the U.S should try to help these people, and focus on issues like these that are a lot more important than a lot of other issues they do pay attention to.
Today we watched a video on people in Ungada. It was called Invisble Children. When this documentary was recored they filmed the people who were in a IDP camp. One person that was interviewed was Sunday. He lost both parents to the LRA. He was alone. He is only fifteen. Sunday has a dream to become a doctor and nothing can stop him, not even school uniforms. Sunday is a very inteligent boy. He built a light in his room and he has a switch. Bobby the narrator gave him a glow stick. Daniel is another boy who lost both his parents, and he stayed in a hut with eight other boys who lost their parents. Daniel said his life was esay when he had his parents, but now life was difficult. In the future Daniel wants to be a teacher. Bobby taught Daniel and his room mates high fives. Both boys attend school so they can reach their goals, but everyday Sunday gets sent home because he doesn’t have a uniform. He goes back everyday though. Sunday had gotten malaria, but he was determined to get better. In an overview 2% of the people who went to the IDP camp went voluntarily, the others were forced. Some people said the camp was like a prison and they sit there and do nothing all day. The people in the camp strugles and people die everyday. When Bobby and the others had gotten back to America they had their protest. Congress had sent a letter to President Bush and while they were waiting for him to respond nearly 1,000 huts were burned and Daniel’s was one of them.
I feel so bad for the people in Ungada because they have no support and are struggling to survive. If I was rich I would try to anything to help support them because they are struggling and nobody should have to suffer like they are. I really hope that war is over very soon because the life style they have to live is a huge tragedy.
What I saw in this movie was the same thing that I read in the book. All the little kids are suffering form hunger and diseases. The kids are the ones who have to worry and be on the look out cause they will get kidnapped and be forced to kill people and use drugs. They have to be moving all the time cause the rebels are always looking for something to take. There you either die from a disease or from hunger. The things that the people that went over there suffered for a couple of days. The people that live there are go through that every day and the have no time to even cry about. The kids are there alone or sometimes they get brought into other peoples homes cause they got separated from there parents or they are just dead. The kids have to work for them selves so that they can eat and clothes there selves and if there sick for the medicine that they need to live or they just die. I think that we should send soldiers over there instead of sending them to Iraq. I think we can help them make things better over there by sending some money over there at least for there diseases. We could also send teachers over there with supplies so that they don’t have to waist the little money they have in school instead spend it on food. We can take them supplies to cook and water so that they don’t go to the river and drink the water that is making them all sick.
The video, Invisible Children, really got into me. Watching the scenes, images, and listening to the lives of the children made my heart drop. I can’t believe a war like this was going on. I never knew one like this existed not until I watched the documentary video. I feel really bad for Sunday, his friend Daniel, and all the other people in Uganda who are going through a lot of hard times. There are not that many doctors in Uganda that can treat those people who are experiencing pain, especially Sunday who has malaria. Malaria is a deadly disease caused by mosquitoes. My opinion about Sunday is that I think he is really determined to reach his goals even when there are times when its hard for him to do so. He never seems to give up especially when the teacher sends him home for not wearing uniform. He eventually comes back the next day, and no matter what he needs to get his studies. In order for him to get money for his school fee, he had to go outside the camp and farm. He doesn’t have enough money to buy uniforms, because he just have enough to pay for his school. I think people from different countries, including us should help Uganda, and other countries that are experiencing the same thing. We have to action, especially since this war has been going on for 21 years.
By the end of the video, I saw a guy helping kids out in Uganda. Both of the parents of the boy were killed by the rebels and is telling the U.S. to help them retain peace in their Country. He is sick and insists to go home from school. And he has a dream of becoming a doctor. Until now, more and more families are being forced into camps. The people are dying due to starvation and sickness. They have been forced into camps for 21 years and their country is currently still at war. Two months after they filmed their story, 1000 huts in their camps have been burned down. The boy’s hut was included in the burned huts. More people in Uganda are being recognized and are seeking help . And more people are recognizing and realizing their suffering in their country. People from different countries are now pitching in to help for a cause. The filmmaker put together a group to help the people in Uganda. An enormous amount of people joined in their group to help.
gilbert What I think about the video is that the kids in Uganda are not the braves and not the smartest but there are kids that are smart like the kid in the video his name is Sunday. He knew how to communicate with the one guy in the video, they were talking like if they known each other for a while. Their living conditions are not the greatest but they survived by there hut and a light. They eat dead rats and they cooked them making it their meal of the day. Living hoe they live it wont cut it for me I think I would die if I was living like them. What those guys did for them was something I would do too for them. They have to work in the fields cutting the trees and grass for they can make there money for the week. Some of this kids they live with other little kids on one hut that probably fit like only five kids, but this kids they make space for other kids to stay with them
In “Invisible” children there is a group of people who travel to Uganda to get a undercover look on the war. In Uganda the locals are terrorized and killed by the rebels. The rebels are called “TRA” there, they are known for abducting children and training them to be rebels and kill in the war. These people are from Southern California, and they noticed this huge problem going on in Uganda. They want everybody else to see what’s going on in Uganda. So this guy gets his friends and goes to Uganda, they’re going to get a behind the scenes shot of the war. When they get to Uganda they meet a local. He tells them about the way people live in Uganda and they had to cut their inventory. The people of Uganda didn’t have blankets, toothbrushes, or even toilet paper. They Ugandans have nothing compared to Americans, and they can’t have any of that if there going to be in the camp. The normal income for them there is 1000 shilling, and those 3 dollars in America. While there he met a kid named Sunday and quickly took interest in him. Sunday was very advanced compared to most Africans; he knew English and was very smart. In Uganda the kids only go to school if they can afford it, or is very dedicated. They charge them 20 dollars a month to go there. As he got to know Sunday he learned that he lost his parents, just like every other kid there. They lived by their self in a hut, the little money they get they have to buy meds, food, and clothes. Leaving barley anything for school, one day Sunday hopes to become a doctor so he can help those in need. He seen a lot of people suffer and wants to help. One night while in the village he noticed a wild fire right in the middle of the village. They couldn’t do anything all they could do is watch; if the wind was to blow it would set all the huts on fire. The smoke filled the camp making it hard for people to breathe, and see. Mostly everybody in the camp was forced to go there. They fell like the camp is a prison. I think what’s going on there is wrong and the government should take better care of them. They put them there, if America see’s what’s going on there we can help.
In the movie Invisible Children the camps look disgusting. Their “toilets” were just shacks with holes in the ground. They didn’t have toilet paper or anything. These poor people were forced out of their houses and they were given only 48 hours to prepare. The movie said that 1,000 people die everyday in the camps. They focused mainly on one boy Sunday. He lost both his parents and said he wanted to be a doctor. Sunday wants to be a doctor because of all the suffering he has seen. I thought it was pretty ridiculous that the girl that was with the filmmakers was crying because she didn’t measure the rice right. Those people in the camps in Northern Uganda have to deal with so many adversities to overcome and she’s complaining about mushy rice. I think that the United States should step up and help these people. We should be spending money on helping these people instead of this useless war we are in. I feel so sorry for the kids in these camps. They shouldn’t have to live in these conditions. I enjoyed watching the movie because it was eye opening and allowed you to see inside the camps. Something needs to be done to help those people. Its very sad to see human beings living in those conditions.
jordy vazquez The movie about the invisible children was about kids that don’t have a home to go to . And there’s some kids that don’t even have a mom or a dad to take care of them .they have to make their own decisions and make a better life out of what they got .they go thru a lot of struggle and pressure that they think that they cannot make it or survive .I think that the kid Sunday is very smart and he can probably make it to be a doctor to cure the people in his home town .I think he also need to stay away from the army in his hometown .he could help his friend Ocoa find a home or live with him because I guess his friends house burned down and I don’t think that he can survive because he already has them thoughts of just doing what he believes I think if them Ocoa kid and his friend Sunday try to go to school and try to make it big they will become something in life and help the people they want to serving as a doctor .
