I get what they were trying to do by making the Video. They were trying to raise awareness about the war criminal Joseph Kony. The facts that were omitted was that hes not even in Uganda anymore and He abducted 30k children over 20 years. His followers now number in the hundreds and they are outside of Uganda. Also Invisible Children has a horrible business model for a charity organization and they spend most of their money on paying employees salaries and production costs for their films. Browse Charitynavigator.org to see what really effective charities are. Fun fact. The CEO of the Red Cross gets paid around 450,000 Dollars a year. You think that they could pay them a little less since you know. It's a charity that works on Donations. Seriously go check out www.Charitynavigator.org or check out the Clinton http://www.clintonfoundation.org/ or Gates foundations http://www.gatesfoundation.org/Pages/home.aspx if your interested in donating to EFFECTIVE and real change inducing charities!
