Film brings stories of Ugandan survivors to MSUM
A film chronicling the efforts of young Ugandans uprooted and recovering from 20 years of war in their homeland is free and open to the MSUM community and the public on Thursday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. in MSUM’s King Hall Room 110.
Film Studies graduate and MSUM Assistant Swimming Coach Katie Diiro and Film Studies faculty member Kyja Kristjansson-Nelson are hosting the event. The film is part of a movement called Invisible Children, which uses film and social action programs to oppose the use of child soldiers in Joseph Kony’s rebel war and promote peace in Northern Uganda. A student and teacher from Uganda will be on hand to talk about their experiences. For more information about the project, go to www.invisiblechildren.com. For more information about the screening, contact Kristjansson-Nelson at (218) 477-4624 or kyja.nelson@mnstate.edu.
