NOTHING IS MORE POWERFUL THAN AN IDEA
WHOSE TIME HAS COME
WHOSE TIME IS NOW
[Jason Russell]
Right now there are more people on Facebook than there were on the planet 200 years ago. Humanities greatest desire is to belong and connect and now we see each other. We hear each other:
Grandpa I love you
I love you
Why – why won’t it take a picture?

We share what we love and it reminds us of what we all have in common.
Alive and well after 7 1/2 days.
If you believe in yourself you will know how to ride a bike. Rock n’ roll.
So not technically your device is on. Can you tell – oh it’s exciting.
[Jason Russell]
And this connection is changing the way the world works. Governments are trying to keep up.
Now we can taste the freedom. (FACE BOOK)
[Jason Russell]
And older generations are concerned.
Many people are very concerned about tomorrow
Cause it could get worse next year. (THE COMING COLLAPSE?)
[Jason Russell]
The game has new rules. The next 27 minutes are an experiment but in order for it to work you have to pay attention.
*baby cries* Oh he’s cute. He’s really cute. Wow! Congratulations. Oh I can hear him.
[Jason Russell]
Every single person in the world started this way, he didn’t chose where or when he was born but because he’s here he matters.
We’ve been waiting for you.
You made it.
[Jason Russell]
My name is Jason Russell and this is my son Gavin. He loves jumping on the Trampoline, being a Ninja and dancing.
[Jason Russell]
What are you doing?
[Gavin] Source: LYBIO.net
Making a snow angel.
[Jason Russell]
How do you do that?
[Gavin]
You do this: de de de – de de de
[Jason Russell]
Just like his dad, he likes being in movies. ACTION!
[Gavin]
Look up people look up – RUN!!~~ It’s a bomb.
[Jason Russell]
And he likes making movies.
[Gavin]
Daddy watch this. I think we got the video.
[Jason Russell]
But he was born into a pretty complicated world. And as a dad I want him to grow up in a better world than I did. And because of the course of events in my life I see a way to get there. It has become my job.
[Jason Russell]
Who are you to end a war? I’m here to tell you: Who are you, not to?
[Jason Russell]
Hey Gavin, what’s up?
[Jason Russell]
Years, before Gavin was born the course of my life was changed entirely by another boy. And whose this right here?
[Gavin]
Jacob.
[Jason Russell]
Who’s Jacob?
[Gavin]
Jacob is our friend in Africa.
[Jason Russell] Source: LYBIO.net
It’s almost been ten years since Jacob and I have been friends.
It’s okay they’re nice, they are different than sharks.
[Jason Russell]
But when my friends and I first met him in Uganda in central Africa it was in very different circumstances. He was running for his life.
[Jason Russell]
Ah – you go to school here?
[Jacob]
Yes
[Jason Russell]
That’s how you know English so well.
[Jacob]
I know
[Jason Russell]
Ya
[Soldier]
(Hello)
[Jason Russell]
How many nights have you stayed here?
[Jacob]
Yes
[Jason Russell] Source: LYBIO.net
That’s how you know English so well.
[Soldier]
You are making our work here very difficult. You stop that.
[Jason Russell]
The night I met Jacob he told me what he and other children in Northern Uganda were living through.
[Jacob]
We worry the rebels when they arrest us again then they will kill us. My brother tried to escape then they killed him using a panga. They cut his neck.
[Jason Russell]
Did you see it?
[Jacob]
I saw.
(We fear that if we sleep at our home we can be abducted by the rebels because our home is far away from town. They will catch us then they will take us there in the bush. We come here to save our life.)
[Jason Russell]
I cannot believe that.
(You cannot believe it?)
(This has been going on for years?)
(If that happened one night in America it would be on the cover of Newsweek)
What is it that you want to be when you grow up?
[Jacob] Source: LYBIO.net
For me, I wanted to be a lawyer but I don’t have money to pay my school fees so that I learn and then become a lawyer.
[Jason Russell]
After spending a few weeks with Jacob, he told me something that I would never forget.
[Jacob]
It is better when you kill us and if possible, you can kill us, you kill us. For us, we don’t want now to stay – because
[Jason Russell]
You don’t want to stay on earth?
[Jacob]
We are only two, no one is taking care of us. We are not going to school, so
[Jason Russell]
You would rather die than stay on earth?
[Jacob]
Yes.
[Jason Russell]
Now, even now?
[Jacob]
Even now. How are we going to stay in our future? You see.
[Jason Russell]
He told me more about his brother and what he would say to him if he were still alive.
[Jacob] Source: LYBIO.net
I love you. But now I miss you. So it is better when we meet we are going to – even if – we are not going to meet but we may meet in heaven, you see? So it is better. I will not talk much, it will start something because if I saw my brother once again. I don’t (cries)
[Jason Russell]
Hummh?
[Jacob]
(cries)
[Jason Russell]
That’s okay, Jacob, it’s okay
[Jacob]
(cries)

Everything in my heart told me to do something and so I made him a promise.
[Jason Russell]
We are also going to do everything that we can to stop them.
[Jacob]
Okay.
[Jason Russell]
Do you hear my words?
[Jacob]
Yes.
[Jason Russell]
Do you know what I mean?
[Jacob]
Yes.
[Jason Russell]
Huh?
[Jacob]
Yes.
[Jason Russell] Source: LYBIO.net
Huh? We are, we’re going to stop them. We’re going to stop them. I made that promise to Jacob, not knowing what that would mean but now I do. Over the past 9 years, I have fought to fulfill it. And the fight has led me here, to this movie your watching because that promise is just not about Jacob or me its also about you, and this year 2012 is finally the year we can fulfill it, and if we succeed we can change the course of human history but time is running out, to level with you, this movie expires on DECEMBER 31st 2012 and it’s only purpose is to stop the Rebel Group The L.R.A. (Lord’s Resistance Army) and their leader Joseph Kony. And I’m about to tell you how we are exactly gonna do it.
KONY 2012
[Jason Russell]
So the thing is – my son Gavin – I’ve never really explained to him what I do, he knows I work in Africa but he doesn’t know what the wars about or who Joseph Kony is. So I’m gonna explain it to him for the first time, today. That’s what we’re doing.
[Jason Russell]
So Gav, are you ready?
[Gavin] Source: LYBIO.net
Ya
[Jason Russell]
I’m gonna ask you some questions
[Gavin]
Ok
[Jason Russell]
And you can just look at me and answer the questions, today.
[Gavin]
I’m kind of nervous.
[Jason Russell]
What do I do for a job?
[Gavin]
You stop the bad guys from being mean.
[Jason Russell]
Who are the bad guys?
[Gavin]
Um…
[Jason Russell]
Do you know where they —
[Gavin]
“Star Wars” people.
[Jason Russell]
“Star Wars” people? –
[Gavin]
Yeah.
[Jason Russell]
– Those are the bad guys?
[Gavin]
Yeah.
[Jason Russell]
Can I tell you the bad guy’s name?
[Gavin]
Yeah.
[Jason Russell]
This is the — This is the guy, Joseph Kony.
[Gavin]
He’s the bad guy?
[Jason Russell]
Yeah. -Who’s this? –
[Gavin]
Jacob.
[Jason Russell]
Joseph Kony — He has an army, okay? And what he does is he takes children from their parents and he gives them a gun to shoot and he makes them shoot and kill other people.
[Gavin]
But they’re not gonna do what he says because they’re nice guys, right?
[Jason Russell]
Yeah, they don’t want to do what he says, but he forces them to do bad things. What do you think about that?
[Gavin]
It’s sad.
[Jason Russell]
Mm. I couldn’t explain to Gavin the details of what Joseph Kony really does. Because the truth is, Kony abducts kids just like Gavin. For 26 years, Kony has been kidnapping children into his rebel group, the LRA… …turning the girls into sex slaves… …and the boys into child soldiers. He makes them mutilate people’s faces. And he forces them to kill their own parents. And this is not just a few children. It’s been over 30,000 of them. And Jacob was one of those children. As if Kony’s crimes aren’t bad enough, he is not fighting for any cause, but only to maintain his power. He is not supported by anyone, and he has repeatedly used peace talks to rearm and murder again and again. This is the head prosecutor for the International Criminal Court. In 2002, when the court was started, their job was to find and demand the arrest of the world’s worst criminals. Although there are a lot of warlords, murderers, and dictators in the world, the perversity of Kony’s crimes made him first on the court’s list. What do you think we should do about him?
[Gavin] Source: LYBIO.net
We should stop him.
[Jason Russell]
We should stop who?
[Gavin]
Him.
[Jason Russell]
It’s obvious that Kony should be stopped. The problem is, 99% of the planet doesn’t know who he is. If they knew, Kony would have been stopped long ago. When my friends and I came home from Uganda, we thought that if the government knew, they would do something to stop him. But everyone in Washington we talked to said there is no way the United States will ever get involved in a conflict where our national security or financial interests aren’t at stake.
[Prendergast]
No administration — Republican, Democrat, Obama, Bush, Clinton, doesn’t matter — would do enough because it’s simply not an important-enough issue on the radar screen of American foreign policy.
[Jason Russell]
Since the government said it was impossible, we didn’t know what else to do but tell everyone we could about Jacob and the invisible children. Show this movie to as many people as possible in such a way that we can’t be ignored. And when we did, people were shocked, and their awareness turned into action. We started something — a community.
[Woman]
I have friends that have been living in this conflict their entire life. Fight for that because that is what is gonna change this world, and that is what defines us.
[Jason]
We got creative, and we got loud.
[All]
It’s not over! It’s not over! It’s not over!
[Jason]
And as the LRA began to move into other countries, Jacob and other Ugandans came to the U.S. to speak on behalf of all people suffering because of Kony. Even though Uganda was relatively safe, they felt compelled to tell the world that Kony was still out there and had to be stopped. We built a community around the idea that where you live shouldn’t determine whether you live. We were committed to stop Kony and rebuild what he had destroyed. And because we couldn’t wait for institutions or governments to step in, we did it ourselves with our time, talent, and money. So we rebuilt schools. We created jobs. And we built an early warning radio network on the front line of the war to protect villages from rebel attacks.

All of this was funded by an army of young people who put their money toward their belief in the value of all human life. They gave a few dollars a month of what little they had to a program called TRI and proved that a bunch of littles could make a big difference. And as a result, the unseen became visible.
Stars hide your fires
These here are my desires
And I won’t give them up to you this time around
And so
But you…
…rightfully mine
[Jason Russell]
So, with hundreds of thousands of people with us, we went back to Washington, D.C., and we met with congressmen and senators one by one on both sides — Republicans, Democrats — and they all agreed with us. Joseph Kony’s crimes had to be stopped.
[Inhofe]
With all the problems that are out there, none is more severe than one that — that mutilates and takes the lives of little kids.
[Davis]
These young members of the Invisible Children Organization know that no child should live in fear of being abducted or killed.
[McGovern]
So they were determined to become their voice. They realized that these African children and families were invisible to Washington policymakers. So they decided to make them visible.
[Jason Russell]
And what I was told would never happen suddenly became possible.
“In furtherance of the Congress’s stated policy, I have authorized a small number of U.S. forces to deploy to Central Africa to provide assistance to regional forces that are working toward the removal of Joseph Kony from the battlefield. Sincerely, Barack Obama.”
[Cheers And Applause]
[Rice]
Through advice and assistance — not putting Americans into combat — to help the countries of the region end this threat once and for all. And that was a worthwhile investment.
[Cheers And Applause]
[Ululating]
[Jason Russell]
After eight years of work, the government finally heard us. And in October of 2011, a hundred American advisers were sent into Central Africa to assist the Ugandan army in arresting Kony and stopping the LRA.
It was the first time in history that the United States took that kind of action because the people demanded it. Not for self-defense, but because it was right. We’ve come so far. But Kony is still out there. He’s recently changed his tactics, making it even more difficult to capture him. And international support could be removed at any time. It’s hard to look back on some parts of human history. Because when we heard about injustice, we cared, but we didn’t know what to do. Too often we did nothing. But if we’re going to change that, we have to start somewhere, so we’re starting here with Joseph Kony because now we know what to do. Here it is. Ready? In order for Kony to be arrested this year, the Ugandan military has to find him. In order to find him, they need the technology and training to track him in the vast jungle. That’s where the American advisers come in. But in order for the American advisers to be there, the U.S. government has to deploy them. They’ve done that, but if the government doesn’t believe that people care about arresting Kony, the mission will be canceled. In order for the people to care, they have to know. And they will only know if Kony’s name is everywhere. This is the dream. Kony arrested for all the world to see, and the abducted children returned home. -Here’s the biggest problem. –
[Gavin] Source: LYBIO.net
Yeah.
[Jason Russell]
Do you want to know what it is?
[Gavin]
Yeah. –
[Jason Russell]
Nobody knows who he is.
[Gavin]
Nobody knows, but — but I know who he is because I see him on this picture right now.
[Jason Russell]
He’s not famous. He’s invisible. Joseph Kony’s invisible. Here is how we’re going to make him visible. We are going to make Joseph Kony a household name not to celebrate him, but to bring his crimes to the light. And we are starting this year, 2012. We are targeting 20 culture makers and 12 policymakers to use their power for good. Let’s start with the 20 culture makers. Celebrities, athletes, and billionaires have a loud voice, and what they talk about spreads instantly. If our goal is to get Kony’s name known, the known should join us. We are targeting 20 of the most diverse and influential culture makers to speak out about Kony and make him famous.
[Man]
Oprah. –
[Woman]
Mark Zuckerberg.
[Man #2]
Ryan Seacrest. –
[Women #2]
Bono.
[Jason Russell]
Then we’re going after policymakers — the ones that have the authority to see Kony captured. They decide if the advisers stay or leave. So we need to remind them that in this election year of fighting and name-calling, no matter what side you’re on, this is something we can all agree on.
[Feingold]
If a senator or congressman notices 25 phone calls on any issue on any given day, it is noted.
[Predergast]
When citizens by the hundreds of thousands start demanding that our government do something, suddenly it becomes in the national interest of the United States government to respond to this problem.
[Jason Russell]
We’ve identified the 12 policymakers that could change the game regarding Kony, so we’re targeting them. On our Website, we’ve made it easy to write them directly, call them, meet with them, and get their attention. If my son were kidnapped and forced to kill, it would be all over the news. So we are making Kony world news by redefining the propaganda we see all day, every day that dictates who and what we pay attention to.
[Fairey]
A lot of people feel powerless to communicate their ideas. They think that: Okay, you know, I’m not a corporation. I don’t own my own magazine or news station. I just don’t have any say. But seeing what I’ve done, I think it’s empowered a lot of people to realize that one individual can make an impact. And I actually want to demystify and say, “Here are these really simple tools. Go out and rock it.”
[Jason Russell] Source: LYBIO.net
And that’s just what we intend to do.
I can’t stop
[Jason Russell]
Our goal is to change the conversation of our culture and get people to ask, “Who is Joseph Kony?” We have printed hundreds of thousands of posters, stickers, yard signs, and fliers that are right now, today, being put up in major cities all over the world. We have thousands of “Kony 2012” bracelets that we want everyone to wear this year only. Each bracelet has a unique I.D. number. Input that number and you enter the mission to make Kony famous. You can geotag your posters and track your impact in real time. Everything you need is in a box called the Action Kit. It has two bracelets — one for you and one to give away. And if you want to help fund our lifesaving programs, donate a few dollars a month through TRI and you can have the Action Kit for free. Start making Kony famous today, but all of these efforts will culminate on one day — April 20th — when we cover the night. This is the day when we will meet at sundown and blanket every street in every city till the sun comes up. We will be smart, and we will be thorough. The rest of the world will go to bed Friday night and wake up to hundreds of thousands of posters demanding justice on every corner.
I can’t stop

It’s always been that the decisions made by the few with the money and the power dictated the priorities of their government and the stories in the media. They determine the lives and the opportunities of their citizens. But now there is something bigger than that. The people of the world see each other and can protect each other. It’s turning the system upside down, and it changes everything. We have reached a crucial time in history where what we do or don’t do right now will affect every generation to come. Arresting Joseph Kony will prove that the world we live in has new rules, that the technology that has brought our planet together is allowing us to respond to the problems of our friends. We are not just studying human history. We are shaping it. At the end of my life, I want to say that the world we’ve left behind is one that Gavin can be proud of, a place that doesn’t allow Joseph Konys and child soldiers, a place where children, no matter where they live, have a childhood free from fear.
[Gavin]
I’m gonna be like you, Dad.
[Jason Russell]
When you grow up?
[Gavin]
Yeah. –
[Jason Russell]
Are you sure?
[Gavin]
