30 minute video, but its being spread all over the social networks. What do you all think about this?

Have the governments of the countries that this dude is hiding in agreed that they will be suject to the rulings of the ICC? Do the governments of these countries want this guy found and stopped?

 

haven't watched it yet, but if this is about LRA / Invisible Children, what prompted this to go viral? Has something happened recently? This crap has been going on for years.



It sucks, it's a huge problem, and it really should be taken care of by neighboring countries (or anyone willing to help). I'm just curious why it suddenly got tons of attention.



I personally know missionaries who travel to Uganda and talk to people in villages like this. Children are literally stolen out of tents and "homes".. kidnapped, brainwashed, and sent back to their villages to kill families.

Honestly it irritates me a little bit to see people being so washed out by this video, to be honest. I've been linked to this video almost 20 times now. Yes, this is a problem, but it is such a small part of the problem and this is only one of hundreds or thousands of dictators in Africa.



It is pretty interesting to see a 'generic' charity movement get this much attention though, I will be following it with interest.

 

I think: Cliffs?



I despise the tendency of more and more information sources to post video instead of text. I read way faster than any narrator could reasonably talk. Combine that with the low standards of video production these days and anything over a couple minutes long is almost guaranteed to have me not watching.

 

^^^ True on all counts, except this one. Yes it's super slow (I watched a total of about 10min over the whole video, kept skipping, skipping). It is produced very well. Strong emotional connection, well made, etc. Still don't know what it's all about though. Other than trying to stop an African Warlord by sharing it on Facebook.... Right.



Can't find the "One does not simply stop a Ugandan Warlord" meme (blocked), but it belongs here!!

 

Every time I see this pop up I have an odd craving to go to Sonic. . .
