Excelsior Middle School: ever upward
As our Middle America Roadie team makes their way across North America to screen MOVE, they made a stop in Marion, Iowa at Excelsior Middle School. The Latin meaning of Excelsior is “ever upward” and it couldn’t apply more to the outlook of the amazing students there. After initially seeing KONY 2012 back in March, […]
The description of an ambassador
With the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens fresh in the minds of many of us, it is important to understand what it takes to be a great ambassador. Many reports speak very highly of Stevens, who worked closely with Libyans rebels to encourage a democratic transition of power after Moammar Gaddafi was removed. Stevens […]
Testament to humanity: a screening at a juvenile detention center
“No one is above grace, but no one is below it either.” Before our Roadies embark on the road to tour Invisible Children films, it is tradition to host mock screenings in San Diego. They get to practice speaking, work out kinks, set up tech equipment, etc. Which means that our 20 teams are in […]

Deep South: pictures & poetry
Howdy from the Deep South! When we started out on this journey we decided that our team motto would be “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”. Little did we know that we would actually experience the meaning behind that phrase. We have learned how important it is to not only look beyond our comfort zones, […]
Team Midwest & their dance party of justice

We all love dancing, justice, and parties… so our motto was birthed: #dancepartyofjustice. And ever since, we have been dancing. We have been […]
Finding beauty with Team Mid Atlantic
Traveling across this country, we have met people with the biggest hearts who open their homes, schools and communities to us with love and open arms. It amazes us each day to see people we have never met before cook us their treasured family recipes, leave us encouraging notes on the toaster in the morning and sit with […]

Team Southeast: with love from the dashboard
After riding along with team Southeast for the past 6 weeks, I’ve grown to LEARN a lot about them. First off, they have an identity crisis. I’ve heard their name change from Soufbeast, to Southeats (so true), to Cheesebeast, to Southnest, to Nestbeast, and new ones are popping up all of the time. They’ve also […]
