Screening of "Invisible Children," March 3

Phi Sigma Tau and the Religious Studies Society at CSU, Chico are proud to host a screening of “Invisible Children” on Monday, March 3 in Holt 170 at 7pm.

“In the spring of 2003, three young filmmakers traveled to Africa in search of a story. What started out as a filmmaking adventure transformed into much more when these boys from Southern California discovered a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them, a tragedy where children are both the weapons and the victims. After returning to the States, they created the documentary “Invisible Children: Rough Cut,” a film that exposes the tragic realities of northern Uganda’s night commuters and child soldiers. The film was originally shown to friends and family, but has now been seen by millions of people. The overwhelming response has been, “How can I help?” To answer this question, the non-profit Invisible Children, Inc. was created, giving compassionate individuals an effective way to respond to the situation” (http://www.invisiblechildren.com/about/whoWeAre/).

Join with us on March 3 in spreading awareness at CSU, Chico.

This event is open and free to the public. For more information visit www.invisiblechildren.com or call the Religious Studies Department Office at 530/898-5661.

Grammy-winning Congolese Afro-pop at CSU, Chico with Angelique Kidjo on March 15

Recent Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo and her band have spread her rhythmic, Afro-funk fusion to the four corners of the globe and crossed musical boundaries by blending tribal and pop rhythms of West Africa with funk, salsa, and jazz. Kidjo has collaborated with Carlos Santana, Dave Matthews, and Gilberto Gil, and her fun-loving personality, on-stage charisma, and totally unique voice has rocketed her to the top of the world music scene. Peter Gabriel says Kidjo’s “Spirit is irrepressible, and she brings life to everything she touches.”

Angelique Kidjo and her band will be performing at Laxson Auditorium on Saturday, March 15 at 7:30pm, courtesy of Chico Performances.

Tickets are $23 Premium, $18 Adult, $16 Senior, $14 Student/Child for more information visit the web site.
