Beyond the Classroom presents Invisible Children: "Go" & "Global Night Commute"
Description:
In 2007, Invisible Children posed a challenge to youth around the world: raise one million dollars in 100 days to rebuild schools in war-torn northern Uganda. Thousands of students rallied, and 20 were rewarded with an adventure of a lifetime: a trip into Africa's longest running war. This is the story of a generation discovering that it does not matter where you are from, but where you go!
Find out what it takes to start a movement that brings hope to those suffering the effects of a 20-year long war in Northern Uganda. Watch as the Invisible Children National Tour inspires thousands of people to share the story of Northern Uganda. Sleep alongside more than 80,000 people at the Global Night Commute. See how their voices carried through the hall of the United States Senate.
