I talked to Tiffany from Invisible Children tonight. She came to Bible study with Ben Keesy last night to answer questions and stuff. She said that they would like to do a school wide assembly, which would be awesome. Then everyone would have to see it. If we can't get that done, I'm gonna shoot for an after school screening, and advertise it like crazy. She emailed me a bunch of information, but I haven't been able to read it yet because it's a word doc. and I don't have word. I should probably look into getting it. Anyway, She also told me that I could come down to the office and get some free copies of the film to give to teachers and such. So I'm gonna give a couple copies to Rivera. See if she can get any of the other teachers to show it. I'm hoping I can get G to let me go tomorrow durring third. I'll probably tell him it's a lot closer than it actually is.
I don't know why this hit me so hard. The first time I saw it, I just felt like "Dang, I really wish that stuff could get better." This time, I didn't even see the whole thing, just the last 10 or 15 minutes, it just hit me that I need to do my part to help. I just felt convicted. So many times I'll see something and think that something needs to be done about it. Well I finally decided to actually do something. I'm not worried about looking like an idiot or getting shot down. I'll always be able to tell people about the film and probably give them a copy. I know I talk a lot about the film, and it may sound like I'm just all about this film, and I am partially. If I can get people to see the film, I can get people to see what's going on, and I can probably get them to care just a little bit, maybe even enough to try to help out.
If you haven't seen it, or would like to show it to others, let me know.
