Filmmakers Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Laren Poole traveled to the region in 2003 to document the conflict. Their work resulted in the 2006 film "Invisible Children," which addresses the plight of child soldiers. The documentary spurred the formation of Invisible Children, Inc., a non-profit aimed at supporting affected youth.
