BTW I have no opinion about this Ungandan bullshit. My main problem is that this Russell guy is obviously part of that sub-species that is all about self-marketing/self-aggrandizing. The overly emotional scenes with his son are uncomfortable to watch. I get the feeling that he's playing dumb and that his main motivation is money and fame.

Handsome white boy wants to be on camera. News at 11.

I'm just going to recommend that people who are intersted in this "cause" go and check out the past perforamnces along with court cases from said cause.

This looks like little more than a crass fundraising e-event.

actually I think it was very well done, very effective delivery

there will be marketing books written about it

 

[choo]

Who is this Jony Koseph?

He's training an army of machete wielding children to take over America! I believe some already are secretly residing in Camden, NJ!

There were criticisms that the film quoted only three Ugandans, two of them politicians, and that it spent more time showing the filmmaker's five-year-old son being told about Joseph Kony than explaining the root causes of the conflict.

Invisible Voices has faced criticism over its finances. Of more than 6 million it spent in 2001, less than 2.3 million was for activities helping people on the ground. The rest went on “awareness programmes and products”, management, media and others.

“It is totally misleading to suggest that the war is still in Uganda,” said Fred Opolot, spokesman for the Ugandan government.

“I suspect that if that’s the impression they are making, they are doing it only to garner increasing financial resources for their own agenda.”
