Great video and cause in "theory". But, I am a bit skeptical of this whole movement.

2 star - accountability and transparency
http://www.charitynavigat....summary&orgid=12429
Only 31% of funds go towards the charity cause
Of the $8.9 million you spent in 2011:
- $1.7 million in US employee salaries
- $357,000 in Film costs
- $850,000 in Production costs
- $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...
Bolded for emphasis. I'm willing to bet a majority of the people who'll be riding this Kony wave will only take into account the filmmaker's take on the situation without doing their own research. Just appeal to people's emotions and you can have them eating out of your hand.Originally Posted by Gry60
The other thing I wanted to mention is this: donors, know where you stand. I have no problem donating to humanitarian NGOs. [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]The problem with IC is that the money they take from people will be used to fund one side of the conflict on the basis that it's the "good" side, even though they don't even know the origins of the LRA and the causes of its fight against the Ugandan government.

Did I mention that the life-loving Ugandan government is trying to pass a law that would find gay people eligible for the death penalty?

I assume it goes to funding military over there somewhat and helping the children who are hiding from Kony. Also probably goes to getting posters made and bracelets / action kits.
