Speaking of stories, this one will change your life
By Jeremy | August 1, 2007
Three white kids from San Diego — college students and aspiring film makers — travel to Africa in search of a story. What they find changes them forever, and the story they tell becomes a movement that inspires young people nationwide to love mercy and do justice.
I’ve mentioned Invisible Children before, and even embraced it as a cause worth supporting. But I finally saw the movie tonight. I watched the story and heard the message — with ears that hear and eyes that see — and what I saw and heard will not be easily forgotten.
I love that spearheading the effort are unqualified students who, by their own admission, had no clue how to make a documentary, nevermind launch a global movement. What they had however, was far more important than technical skill, state-of-the-art gear, and an internship with Spielberg. They had eyes to see, ears to hear, and just enough youthful idealism to believe that justice is still possible.
