I didn't think I had 30 mins to spend but it was very well done and very worth our time.

Wow, that's viral. I only saw it come up this morning on Vimeo and slapped it on Facebook and Pinterest.
Seems like the whole world had the same idea today. Let's hope that the end result is that Kony's rule is brought to an end swiftly.

+1, Reposted and ready to help in any way I can.

We forget how hard life is for some while the rest of us complain and bicker about the little things.....This is a great reminder of how lucky and thankful I am for the opportunities and freedoms in my life . Don't want to take that for granted.

This from some online sources that present a case for checking out any charity you get excited about and donate to:

Total Revenue $13M in 2011/11
Of the $8.9 million they spent, this is the breakdown:

• $1.7 million in US employee salaries
• $357,000 in Film costs
• $850,000 in Production costs
• $685,000 in Computer equipment
• $244,000 in "professional services" (DC lobbyists)
• $1.07 million in travel expenses
• $400,000 in office rent in San Diego
• $16,000 in Entertainment etc...

Only 2.8 million (31%) made it to their charity program (which is further whittled down by local Ugandan bureaucracy) - what do the children actually get?

Cool film though - well shot and gripping story
