00:00:03.008 --> 00:00:05.022
Hiçbir ţey zamaný gelmiţ...

00:00:05.022 --> 00:00:21.071
bir fikirden daha önemli deđildir.

00:00:25.037 --> 00:00:36.032
Ţu anda Facebook'da 200 yýl önceki dünya nüfusundan daha çok insan var.

00:00:36.032 --> 00:00:40.086
Ýnsanlýđýn en büyük tutkusu ait olmak ve bađlanmaktýr.

00:00:40.086 --> 00:00:45.042
Ve ţimdi birbirimizi görüyoruz, birbirimizi duyuyoruz.

00:00:45.042 --> 00:00:48.039
"Dede, seni seviyorum!"

00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:49.063
"Seni seviyorum!"

00:00:49.063 --> 00:00:51.017
"Neden.... neden fotođraf çekmiyor?"

00:00:51.017 --> 00:00:54.091
Sevdiđimiz ţeyleri paylaţýyoruz, ve bu bize hepimizin ortak deđerleri olduđunu hatýrlatýyor.

00:00:54.091 --> 00:00:58.043
"7 buçuk gün sonra canlý ve sađlýklý bir biçimde çýkarýldý..."

00:00:58.043 --> 00:01:05.024
"Kendinize güveniyorsanýz bisiklet sürmeyi öđrenirsiniz! Ýzleyin ve öđrenin!"

00:01:05.024 --> 00:01:09.090
"Teknik olarak cihazýnýz açýk durumda. Onaylayabilir misiniz?"

00:01:09.090 --> 00:01:14.057
"Oh! Çok heyecanlý!"

00:01:14.057 --> 00:01:18.074
Ve bu bađlantý düntanýn çalýţmasýný deđiţtiriyor.

00:01:18.074 --> 00:01:21.016
Devletler buna yetiţmeye çalýţýyor.

00:01:21.016 --> 00:01:24.020
Ţimdi özgürlüđü deneyebiliyoruz.

00:01:24.020 --> 00:01:27.009
Ve geçmiţ nesiller kaygýlý.

00:01:27.009 --> 00:01:30.048
"Çođu insan yarýndan kaygýlý. Seneye durumlar kötüleţebilir."

00:01:30.048 --> 00:01:33.071
Oyunun yeni kurallarý var.

00:01:33.071 --> 00:01:39.082
Önümüzdeki 27 dakika bir deney.

00:01:39.082 --> 00:02:13.074
Ama iţe yaramasý için dikkatinizi vermeniz gerekiyor.

00:02:13.074 --> 00:02:19.085
"Onu duyabiliyorum!"

00:02:19.085 --> 00:02:24.005
Dünyadaki her hayat böyle baţladý.

00:02:24.005 --> 00:02:28.063
Nerede ve ne zaman dođacađýný kendisi seçmedi.

00:02:28.063 --> 00:02:33.050
Ama o burada, ve bu yüzden önemi var.

00:02:33.050 --> 00:02:37.063
"Evet! Seni bekliyorduk! Baţardýn!"

00:02:37.063 --> 00:02:48.032
Benim adým Jason Russell ve bu da ođlum, Gavin.

00:02:48.032 --> 00:02:55.082
Trambolinde zýplamayý, ninja olmayý ve dans etmeyi seviyor.

00:02:55.082 --> 00:02:57.005
"Ne yapýyorsun?"

00:02:57.005 --> 00:02:58.030
"Kar meleđi!"

00:02:58.030 --> 00:02:59.051
"Nasýl yapýyorsun bunu?"

00:02:59.051 --> 00:03:00.048
"Böyle!"

00:03:00.048 --> 00:03:05.099
Ve týpký babasý gibi, filmlerde oynamayý seviyor.

00:03:05.099 --> 00:03:07.008
"Motor!"

00:03:07.008 --> 00:03:11.056
"Dikkat! Dikkat edin! Koţun! Bir bomba!"

00:03:11.056 --> 00:03:19.049
Ve film yapmayý da seviyor.

00:03:19.049 --> 00:03:21.082
"Baba bak!"

00:03:21.082 --> 00:03:25.098
"Sanýrým vidyoyu çektik."

00:03:25.098 --> 00:03:28.084
Ama o çok karýţýk bir dünyada dođdu.

00:03:28.084 --> 00:03:35.015
Bir baba olarak onun benden daha iyi bir dünyada büyümesini istiyorum.

00:03:35.015 --> 00:03:37.013
Ve hayatýmdaki olaylar zinciri sayesinde oraya ulaţmak için bir yol görüyorum.

00:03:37.013 --> 00:03:41.063
Bu benim mesleđim oldu.

00:03:41.063 --> 00:03:43.088
Siz bir savaţý bitirmek için kimsiniz ki?

00:03:43.088 --> 00:03:47.006
Ben burada size aslýnda kim olduđunuzu söylemek için varým.

00:03:47.006 --> 00:03:48.036
"Hey Gavin, nasýlsýn?"

00:03:48.036 --> 00:03:51.008
Gavin dođmadan yýllar önce, hayatým baţka bir çocuk tarafýndan deđiţmiţti.

00:03:51.008 --> 00:03:56.021
"Buradaki kim?"

00:03:56.021 --> 00:03:57.046
"Jacob."

00:03:57.046 --> 00:03:59.048
"Jacob kim?"

00:03:59.048 --> 00:04:03.011
"Jacob bizim Afrika'daki arkadaţýmýz."

00:04:03.011 --> 00:04:10.095
Ben Jacob'la arkadaţ olalý 10 yýl kadar oluyor.

00:04:10.095 --> 00:04:17.099
"Sorun yok, onlar iyi. Onlar köpekbalýđý deđil."

00:04:17.099 --> 00:04:27.016
Ama ben ve arkadaţlarým Güney Afrika'da Uganda'da onla tanýţtýđýmýz zaman olay çok deđiţik koţullar içindeydi.

00:04:27.016 --> 00:04:34.014
O hayatý için kaçýyordu.

00:04:34.014 --> 00:04:35.069
"Burada okula gidiyorsun..."

00:04:35.069 --> 00:04:36.048
"Evet."

00:04:36.048 --> 00:04:37.096
"Bu yüzden mi Ýngilizcen iyi?"

00:04:37.096 --> 00:04:39.038
"Biliyorum."

00:04:39.038 --> 00:04:41.053
"Burada kaç gece kaldýnýz?"

00:04:41.053 --> 00:04:43.019
"Merhaba."

00:04:43.019 --> 00:04:44.078
"Bizim iţimizi çok zorlaţtýrýyorsunuz."

00:04:44.078 --> 00:04:50.018
"Onu ţimdi kesin."

00:04:50.018 --> 00:04:54.010
Onunla tanýţtýđým ilk gece, bana Kuzey Uganda'da kendilerinin neler yaptýđýný anlattý.

00:04:54.010 --> 00:05:00.092
"Ýsyancýlarýn bizi bulup öldürmesinden korkuyoruz."

00:05:00.092 --> 00:05:11.098
"Ađabeyim kaçmaya çalýţtý ve onu bir Panga'yla öldürdüler."

00:05:11.098 --> 00:05:14.010
"Boynunu kestiler."

00:05:14.010 --> 00:05:15.010
"Bunu gördün mü?"

00:05:15.010 --> 00:05:16.009
"Gördüm."

00:05:16.009 --> 00:05:17.035
"Evimizde oturduđumuz için bizi gelip kaçýrmalarýndan korkuyoruz."

00:05:17.035 --> 00:05:21.019
"Çünkü bizim evimiz ţehirden çok uzakta."

00:05:21.019 --> 00:05:25.054
"Bizi yakalýyorlar ve çalýlara götürüyorlar..."

00:05:25.054 --> 00:05:28.011
"Buraya hayatýmýzý kurtarmaya geldik."

00:05:28.011 --> 00:05:48.094
"Buna inanamýyorum."

00:05:48.094 --> 00:05:50.072
"Ýnanamýyor musun?"

00:05:50.072 --> 00:05:53.061
"Bu burada yýllardýr devam mý ediyor?"

00:05:53.061 --> 00:05:57.052
"Bu ABD'de bir gece olsa Newsweek'in manţetlerinde olurdu."

00:05:57.052 --> 00:06:04.019
"Büyüyünce ne olmak istiyorsun?"

00:06:04.019 --> 00:06:12.010
"Bir avukat olmak isterdim ama okul masraflarýný karţýlayamýyorum."

00:06:12.010 --> 00:06:14.021
"Sonra yeterli kadar öđrenip bir avukat olmak..."

00:06:14.021 --> 00:06:15.093
"Hmm."

00:06:15.093 --> 00:06:17.012
"Evet."

00:06:17.012 --> 00:06:19.060
"Jacob'la birkaç hafta geçirdikten sonra bana hayatým boyunca unutamayacađým bir ţey söyledi."

00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:27.051
"Eđer bizi öldürecekseniz öldürün...

00:06:27.051 --> 00:06:30.005
...çünkü biz artýk burada kalmak istemiyoruz."

00:06:30.005 --> 00:06:32.035
"Dünyada yaţamak istemiyor musunuz?"

00:06:32.035 --> 00:06:35.001
"Biz sadece iki kiţiyiz, kinse bize bakmýyor."

00:06:35.001 --> 00:06:37.018
"Ayný zamanda okula da gitmiyoruz, o yüzden..."

00:06:37.018 --> 00:06:39.059
"Dünyadan kalmaktansa ölmeyi yeđler misin?"

00:06:39.059 --> 00:06:40.045
"Evet."

00:06:40.045 --> 00:06:41.081
"Ţimdi, ţimdi bile mi?"

00:06:41.081 --> 00:06:43.011
"Evet, ţu anda bile."

00:06:43.011 --> 00:06:46.093
Geleceđimize nasýl tutunacađýz?

00:06:46.093 --> 00:06:53.053
"Bana ađabeyi hakkýnda daha çok ţeyler anlattý, ve yaţasaydý neler söyleceđinden bahsetti."

00:06:53.053 --> 00:06:56.020
"Seni seviyorum, fakat artýk seni özlüyorum."

00:06:56.020 --> 00:07:00.014
"Ve buluţmamýz daha iyi olur."

00:07:00.014 --> 00:07:03.069
"Burada buluţamayacađýz ama belki cenette..."

00:07:03.069 --> 00:07:04.069
"Görüyor musun?"

00:07:04.069 --> 00:07:05.080
"Böyle daha iyi."

00:07:05.080 --> 00:07:06.078
Koţ konuţmayacađým.

00:07:06.078 --> 00:07:08.021
Bir ţey baţlatacađým.

00:07:08.021 --> 00:07:10.009
"Çünkü kardeţimi bir daha görseydim..."

00:07:10.009 --> 00:07:21.078
"Hmm?"

00:07:21.078 --> 00:07:23.043
"Tamam."

00:07:23.043 --> 00:07:30.086
"Jacob, geçti."

00:07:30.086 --> 00:07:34.039
Kalbimdeki her ţey bana bir ţey yapmamý söyledi.

00:07:34.039 --> 00:07:36.083
Ben de ona bir söz verdim.

00:07:36.083 --> 00:07:42.077
"Biz ayný zamanda onlarý durdurmak için elimizden gelen her ţeyi yapacađýz."

00:07:42.077 --> 00:07:45.018
"Dediđimi duydun mu?"

00:07:45.018 --> 00:07:45.096
"Evet."

00:07:45.096 --> 00:07:47.023
"Dediđimi anladýn mý?"

00:07:47.023 --> 00:07:47.090
"Evet."

00:07:47.090 --> 00:07:48.067
"Hmm?"

00:07:48.067 --> 00:07:49.060
"Evet."

00:07:49.060 --> 00:07:52.022
"Biz. Biz onlarý durduracađýz."

00:07:52.022 --> 00:07:59.089
"Onlarý biz durduracađýz."

00:07:59.089 --> 00:08:08.048
Jacob'a o sözü verirken anlamýný bilmiyordum, fakat ţimdi biliyorum.

00:08:08.048 --> 00:08:11.011
Geçtiđimiz dokuz yýlda, sözümü tutmak için savaţtým.

00:08:11.011 --> 00:08:14.032
Ve bu savaţ beni buraya getirdi.

00:08:14.032 --> 00:08:16.093
Ţu an izlediđiniz filme getirdi.

00:08:16.093 --> 00:08:18.046
Çünkü verdiđim söz sadece Jacob ve benimle ilgili deđil.

00:08:18.046 --> 00:08:21.095
Ayný zamanda sizinle ilgili.

00:08:21.095 --> 00:08:27.007
And this year, 2012, is the year that we can finally fulfill it

00:08:27.007 --> 00:08:34.043
And if we succeed, we change the course of human history

00:08:34.043 --> 00:08:35.094
But time is running out.

00:08:35.094 --> 00:08:40.018
To level with you, this movie expires on December 31, 2012

00:08:40.018 --> 00:08:45.021
And its only purpose is to stop the rebel group, the LRA

00:08:45.021 --> 00:08:47.044
And their leader, Joseph Kony

00:08:47.044 --> 00:08:50.094
And I'm about to tell you exactly how we're going to do it.

00:08:50.094 --> 00:09:05.078
So the thing is that my son Gavin has never

00:09:05.078 --> 00:09:12.010
I've never really explained to him what I do

00:09:12.010 --> 00:09:13.063
He knows I work in Africa

00:09:13.063 --> 00:09:16.090
But he doesn't know what the war's about

00:09:16.090 --> 00:09:18.039
Or who Joseph Kony is

00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.062
And I'm gonna explain it to him for the first time today

00:09:21.062 --> 00:09:24.070
That's what we're going

00:09:24.070 --> 00:09:25.054
So, Gav, are you ready?

00:09:25.054 --> 00:09:26.040
Yeah

00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:27.035
I'm gonna ask you some questions

00:09:27.035 --> 00:09:28.015
Okay

00:09:28.015 --> 00:09:31.007
And you can just look at me and answer the questions

00:09:31.007 --> 00:09:32.057
I'm kinda nervous

00:09:32.057 --> 00:09:35.048
What do I do for a job?

00:09:35.048 --> 00:09:38.011
Ah! You stop the bad guys from being mean

00:09:38.011 --> 00:09:40.074
Who are the bad guys?

00:09:40.074 --> 00:09:42.016
Um

00:09:42.016 --> 00:09:44.054
Do you know

00:09:44.054 --> 00:09:45.097
Star Wars people

00:09:45.097 --> 00:09:47.055
Star Wars people? Those are the bad guys?

00:09:47.055 --> 00:09:48.044
Yeah

00:09:48.044 --> 00:09:50.020
Can I tell you the bad guy's name?

00:09:50.020 --> 00:09:51.038
Yeah

00:09:51.038 --> 00:09:54.052
This is the guy, Joseph Kony

00:09:54.052 --> 00:09:57.028
He's the bad guy?

00:09:57.028 --> 00:09:58.075
Yeah

00:09:58.075 --> 00:10:01.002
Who is this?

00:10:01.002 --> 00:10:02.041
Jacob

00:10:02.041 --> 00:10:07.096
Joseph Kony, he has an army, okay?

00:10:07.096 --> 00:10:12.007
And what he does is he takes children from their parents

00:10:12.007 --> 00:10:17.015
And he gives them a gun to shoot

00:10:17.015 --> 00:10:19.092
And he makes them shoot and kill other people.

00:10:19.092 --> 00:10:24.020
But they're not gonna do what he says because they're nice guys, right?

00:10:24.020 --> 00:10:30.050
Yeah they don't want to do what he says

00:10:30.050 --> 00:10:32.034
But he forces them to do bad things

00:10:32.034 --> 00:10:33.079
What do you think about that?

00:10:33.079 --> 00:10:37.047
It's sad

00:10:37.047 --> 00:10:42.065
I couldn't explain to Gavin the details of what Joseph Kony really does

00:10:42.065 --> 00:10:57.028
Because the truth is, Kony abducts kids just like Gavin.

00:10:57.028 --> 00:11:08.040
For 26 years, Kony has been kidnapping children into his rebel group, the LRA

00:11:08.040 --> 00:11:11.012
Turning the girls into sex slaves

00:11:11.012 --> 00:11:19.017
And the boys into child soldiers

00:11:19.017 --> 00:11:24.024
He makes them mutilate people's faces

00:11:24.024 --> 00:11:30.028
And he forces them to kill their own parents

00:11:30.028 --> 00:11:34.090
And this is not just a few children

00:11:34.090 --> 00:11:49.043
It's been over 30,000 of them

00:11:49.043 --> 00:11:51.096
And Jacob was one of those children

00:11:51.096 --> 00:11:54.077
As if Kony's crimes aren't bad enough

00:11:54.077 --> 00:11:58.082
He's not fighting for any cause, but only to maintain his power

00:11:58.082 --> 00:12:02.014
He is not supported by anyone

00:12:02.014 --> 00:12:07.010
And he has repeatedly used peace talks to rearm and murder again and again

00:12:07.010 --> 00:12:13.084
Kony, different times, proposed peace and then just regain strength and attack

00:12:13.084 --> 00:12:18.057
This is the head prosecutor for the International Criminal Court

00:12:18.057 --> 00:12:24.091
In 2002 when the court was started, their job was

00:12:24.091 --> 00:12:27.093
To find and demand the arrest of the world's worst criminals

00:12:27.093 --> 00:12:32.044
Although there are a lot of war lords, murderers, and dictators in the world

00:12:32.044 --> 00:12:37.089
The perversity of Kony's crimes made him first on the court's list

00:12:37.089 --> 00:12:40.088
Kony's the first guy indicted by the ICC

00:12:40.088 --> 00:12:42.077
The crimes are basically crimes against humanity

00:12:42.077 --> 00:12:45.068
And war crimes committed against the civillian population

00:12:45.068 --> 00:12:50.047
Including murder, sexual slavery, rapes, abductions

00:12:50.047 --> 00:12:53.029
We need to plan how to arrest Kony

00:12:53.029 --> 00:12:54.080
Start to plan

00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.002
And it has to be serious

00:12:56.002 --> 00:12:58.005
In fact, the only way to stop Kony is to show him

00:12:58.005 --> 00:12:59.077
Hey, we're going to arrest you

00:12:59.077 --> 00:13:09.098
What do you think we should do about it?

00:13:09.098 --> 00:13:10.078
You should stop him

00:13:10.078 --> 00:13:11.073
The criminal here is Kony.

00:13:11.073 --> 00:13:13.045
Stop him and then solve all the problems

00:13:13.045 --> 00:13:14.033
We should stop who?

00:13:14.033 --> 00:13:17.058
Him.

00:13:17.058 --> 00:13:21.041
It's obvious that Kony should be stopped

00:13:21.041 --> 00:13:24.088
The problem is 99% of the planet doesn't know who he is

00:13:24.088 --> 00:13:28.086
If they knew, Kony would have been stopped long ago

00:13:28.086 --> 00:13:31.065
Let the world, let the international community

00:13:31.065 --> 00:13:33.064
Take justice to him there

00:13:33.064 --> 00:13:34.057
Follow him wherever he is

00:13:34.057 --> 00:13:36.076
First to rescue our children

00:13:36.076 --> 00:13:39.050
And secondly, to deliver the justice

00:13:39.050 --> 00:13:42.086
We are determined to cooperate with any friend of Uganda

00:13:42.086 --> 00:13:47.097
To ensure that this mindless killing and slaughter is ended

00:13:47.097 --> 00:13:51.076
When my friends and I came home from Uganda

00:13:51.076 --> 00:13:56.094
We thought that if the government knew, they would do something to stop him

00:13:56.094 --> 00:13:59.033
But everyone in Washington we talked to said

00:13:59.033 --> 00:14:02.054
There is no way the United States will ever get involved

00:14:02.054 --> 00:14:07.088
In a conflict where our national security or financial interests aren't at stake

00:14:07.088 --> 00:14:12.082
No administration, republican, democrat, Obama, Bush, Clinton, doesn't matter

00:14:12.082 --> 00:14:16.077
Would do enough because it's simply not an important enough issue

00:14:16.077 --> 00:14:18.094
On the radar screen of American Foreign Policy

00:14:18.094 --> 00:14:22.078
Since the government said it was impossible

00:14:22.078 --> 00:14:24.086
We didn't know what else to do

00:14:24.086 --> 00:14:29.075
But tell everyone we could about Jacob and the Invisible Children

00:14:29.075 --> 00:14:34.018
We're going to show this movie to as many people as possible

00:14:34.018 --> 00:14:35.045
In such a way that we can't be ignored

00:14:35.045 --> 00:14:37.038
And when we did, people were shocked

00:14:37.038 --> 00:14:40.073
And their awareness turned into action

00:14:40.073 --> 00:14:43.013
We started something

00:14:43.013 --> 00:14:44.071
A community

00:14:44.071 --> 00:14:52.043
I have friends that have been living in this conflict their entire life

00:14:52.043 --> 00:14:55.071
Fight for that, because that is what is going to change this world

00:14:55.071 --> 00:14:56.091
And that is what defines us

00:14:56.091 --> 00:14:57.070
We got creative and we got loud

00:14:57.070 --> 00:15:03.019
It's not over! It's not over! It's not over!

00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:05.073
And as the LRA began to move into other countries

00:15:05.073 --> 00:15:08.065
Jacob and other Ugandans came to the US

00:15:08.065 --> 00:15:13.063
To speak on behalf of all people suffering because of Kony

00:15:13.063 --> 00:15:15.072
Even though Uganda was relatively safe

00:15:15.072 --> 00:15:19.083
They felt compelled to tell the world that Kony was still out there

00:15:19.083 --> 00:15:22.008
And had to be stopped

00:15:22.008 --> 00:15:25.046
I'm here so proud advocating for the people who are back at home

00:15:25.046 --> 00:15:27.080
And this change we are going to make is going to last forever

00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:34.060
We built a community around the idea that where you live

00:15:34.060 --> 00:15:35.078
Shouldn't determine whether you live

00:15:35.078 --> 00:15:37.087
We were committed to stop Kony and rebuild what he had destroyed

00:15:37.087 --> 00:15:43.084
And because we couldn't wait for and institutions or governments to step in

00:15:43.084 --> 00:15:46.044
We did it ourselves

00:15:46.044 --> 00:15:50.028
With our time, talent, and money

00:15:50.028 --> 00:15:52.020
So we rebuilt schools

00:15:52.020 --> 00:15:56.068
The best you can offer a child is by letting them be independent

00:15:56.068 --> 00:15:59.014
And that was providing education

00:15:59.014 --> 00:16:01.033
We created jobs

00:16:01.033 --> 00:16:05.006
I have seen the lives of those who have been hopeless

00:16:05.006 --> 00:16:07.013
Now they have hope

00:16:07.013 --> 00:16:11.030
And we built and early warning radio network on the front line of the war

00:16:11.030 --> 00:16:18.043
To protect villages from rebel attacks

00:16:18.043 --> 00:16:20.014
So you update real-time what's happening in a war zone 8,000 miles away

00:16:20.014 --> 00:16:26.050
All of this was funded by an army of young people

00:16:26.050 --> 00:16:34.072
Who put their money toward their belief in the value of all human life

00:16:34.072 --> 00:16:35.092
They gave a few dollars a month of what little they had

00:16:35.092 --> 00:16:40.040
To a program called Tri

00:16:40.040 --> 00:16:41.029
And proved that a bunch of littles could make a big difference

00:16:41.029 --> 00:16:46.012
And as a result the unseen became visible

00:16:46.012 --> 00:16:50.013
We've seen these kids

00:16:50.013 --> 00:16:53.094
We've heard their cries

00:16:53.094 --> 00:16:58.026
This war must end

00:16:58.026 --> 00:17:01.095
We will not stop

00:17:01.095 --> 00:17:04.060
We will not fear

00:17:04.060 --> 00:17:09.056
We will fight war

00:17:09.056 --> 00:17:28.075
Deliver your voice

00:17:28.075 --> 00:17:31.017
I've talked to people from Mexico, from Canada

00:17:31.017 --> 00:17:33.002
From every other state that I can think of

00:17:33.002 --> 00:17:34.058
We're all doing this for the exact same reason

00:17:34.058 --> 00:17:37.013
And we're all coming from completely different places

00:17:37.013 --> 00:17:38.080
This is what the world should be like

00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:49.035
So with hundreds of thousands of people with us

00:17:49.035 --> 00:17:50.099
We went back to Washington DC and we met with Congressmen and Senators

00:17:50.099 --> 00:17:56.087
One by one

00:17:56.087 --> 00:18:00.028
On both sides, republicans, democrats, and they all agreed with us

00:18:00.028 --> 00:18:03.034
Joseph Kony's crimes had to be stopped

00:18:03.034 --> 00:18:07.008
Of all the problems that are out there, none is more severe than one that

00:18:07.008 --> 00:18:10.036
Mutilates the lives of little kids

00:18:10.036 --> 00:18:13.034
These young members of the Invisible Children organization

00:18:13.034 --> 00:18:18.038
Know that no child should live in fear of being abducted or killed

00:18:18.038 --> 00:18:23.005
So they were determined to become their voice

00:18:23.005 --> 00:18:25.008
They realized that these African children and families

00:18:25.008 --> 00:18:27.008
Were invisible to Washington policy makers

00:18:27.008 --> 00:18:30.040
So they decided to make them visible

00:18:30.040 --> 00:18:32.048
And what I was told would never happen

00:18:32.048 --> 00:18:35.074
Suddenly became possible

00:18:35.074 --> 00:18:38.078
In furtherance of the Congress' stated policy, I have authorized

00:18:38.078 --> 00:18:43.024
A small number of US forces to deploy to Central Africa

00:18:43.024 --> 00:18:45.051
To provide assistance to regional forces that are working toward

00:18:45.051 --> 00:18:48.060
The removal of Joseph Kony from the battlefield

00:18:48.060 --> 00:18:55.082
Sincerely, Barack Obama

00:18:55.082 --> 00:18:58.038
The surprise announcement came in a letter from the White House

00:18:58.038 --> 00:19:00.056
The US president's decision commits US troops to help

00:19:00.056 --> 00:19:02.032
Through advice and assistance

00:19:02.032 --> 00:19:05.081
Not putting Americans into combat, to help the countries of the region

00:19:05.081 --> 00:19:08.078
End this threat once and for all

00:19:08.078 --> 00:19:13.054
And that was a worthwhile investment

00:19:13.054 --> 00:19:15.019
We used to think that we could not do it

00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:19.018
And now when I see we can do it I am overwhelmed

00:19:19.018 --> 00:19:26.057
After 8 years of work, the government finally heard us

00:19:26.057 --> 00:19:30.075
And in October of 2011, 100 American advisors were sent into Central Africa

00:19:30.075 --> 00:19:36.084
To assist the Ugandan army in arresting Kony and stopping the LRA

00:19:36.084 --> 00:19:41.019
It was the first time in history that the United States took that kind of action

00:19:41.019 --> 00:19:46.001
Because the people demanded it

00:19:46.001 --> 00:19:46.093
Not for self defense, but because it was right

00:19:46.093 --> 00:20:22.022
We have come some far

00:20:22.022 --> 00:20:26.019
But Kony is still out there

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:29.031
He recently changed his tactics

00:20:29.031 --> 00:20:32.085
Making it more difficult to capture him

00:20:32.085 --> 00:20:38.098
And international support could be removed at anytime

00:20:38.098 --> 00:20:40.032
If we take the pressure off

00:20:40.032 --> 00:20:41.049
If we are not successful

00:20:41.049 --> 00:20:43.024
He is going to be growing his numbers

00:20:43.024 --> 00:20:47.065
People forget and you got remind them

00:20:47.065 --> 00:20:49.049
And take numbers to remind them

00:20:49.049 --> 00:20:51.054
And if interest wanes, then

00:20:51.054 --> 00:20:53.078
It will just, it will go away

00:20:53.078 --> 00:20:55.013
And I'd end up standing out there alone

00:20:55.013 --> 00:20:57.017
Trying to do something to

00:20:57.017 --> 00:20:59.079
Support completing the mission

00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:00.091
It got be 2012

00:21:00.091 --> 00:21:02.088
It is not bad for the youth

00:21:02.088 --> 00:21:03.093
It is bad for the world if we fail

00:21:03.093 --> 00:21:06.093
It is not important just for Ugandan people

00:21:06.093 --> 00:21:10.001
It is important for everyone

00:21:10.001 --> 00:21:17.042
It is hard to look back at some parts of human history

00:21:17.042 --> 00:21:19.062
Because when we heard about injustice

00:21:19.062 --> 00:21:20.088
We cared

00:21:20.088 --> 00:21:24.022
But we didnât know what to do

00:21:24.022 --> 00:21:26.024
Too often

00:21:26.024 --> 00:21:27.095
We did nothing

00:21:27.095 --> 00:21:29.042
But it we going to change that

00:21:29.042 --> 00:21:32.060
We have to start somewhere

00:21:32.060 --> 00:21:34.062
So we starting here

00:21:34.062 --> 00:21:36.039
With Joseph Kony

00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:39.020
Because now, we know what to do

00:21:39.020 --> 00:21:40.073
Here it is

00:21:40.073 --> 00:21:42.021
Ready?

00:21:42.021 --> 00:21:45.005
In order for Kony to be arrested this year

00:21:45.005 --> 00:21:49.093
The Ugandan military has to find him

00:21:49.093 --> 00:21:51.020
In order to find him

00:21:51.020 --> 00:21:56.003
They need the technology and training to track him in the vast jungle

00:21:56.003 --> 00:21:58.060
That where the Americans advisors come in

00:21:58.060 --> 00:22:01.081
But it order for the Americans advisors to be there

00:22:01.081 --> 00:22:04.078
The US government has to deploy them

00:22:04.078 --> 00:22:06.023
They have done that

00:22:06.023 --> 00:22:09.008
But it the government doesn't believe the people care about arresting Kony

00:22:09.008 --> 00:22:12.028
The mission will be cancelled

00:22:12.028 --> 00:22:14.051
In order for the people they care, they have to know.

00:22:14.051 --> 00:22:26.084
This is the dream

00:22:26.084 --> 00:22:29.047
Kony arrested for all the world to see

00:22:29.047 --> 00:22:34.016
And for the abducted children returned home

00:22:34.016 --> 00:22:36.085
Here is the biggest problem

00:22:36.085 --> 00:22:38.041
Want to know what it is?

00:22:38.041 --> 00:22:39.025
Yeah

00:22:39.025 --> 00:22:40.010
Nobody knows who he is

00:22:40.010 --> 00:22:45.070
But I know who he is

00:22:45.070 --> 00:22:51.048
Because I see him on this picture right now

00:22:51.048 --> 00:22:52.097
He is not famous

00:22:52.097 --> 00:22:55.050
He is invisible, joseph Kony is invisible

00:22:55.050 --> 00:23:01.002
Here is how we going to make him visible

00:23:01.002 --> 00:23:03.096
We are going to make joseph Kony a household name

00:23:03.096 --> 00:23:05.048
Not to celebrate him

00:23:05.048 --> 00:23:08.090
But to bring his crime to the light

00:23:08.090 --> 00:23:10.050
And we are starting this year

00:23:12.054 --> 00:23:15.086
We are targeting 20 culture makers and 12 policy makers

00:23:15.086 --> 00:23:28.032
To use their power for good

00:23:28.032 --> 00:23:28.082
Let's start with the 20 culture makers

00:23:28.082 --> 00:23:30.058
Celebrities, athletes, and billionaires Have a loud voice

00:23:30.058 --> 00:23:31.036
And what they talk about spreads instantly

00:23:31.036 --> 00:23:32.035
I want. I'd like indicted war criminals to enjoy the same level of celebrity as me

00:23:32.035 --> 00:23:32.085
That seems fair

00:23:32.085 --> 00:23:40.006
That is our objective. Is to just shine a light on it

00:23:40.006 --> 00:23:42.058
If our goal is to get Kony's name known

00:23:42.058 --> 00:23:44.067
The know should join us

00:23:44.067 --> 00:23:50.074
We are targeting twenty of the most divers and influential culture makers

00:23:50.074 --> 00:23:51.069
To speak out about Kony

00:23:51.069 --> 00:23:53.030
And make him famous

00:23:53.030 --> 00:23:54.015
Then we are going after policy makers

00:23:54.015 --> 00:24:01.023
The one that has the authority to see Kony captured

00:24:01.023 --> 00:24:04.062
They decides if the advisors stay or leave

00:24:04.062 --> 00:24:07.067
So we need to remind them that in this election year

00:24:07.067 --> 00:24:09.069
The fighting and the name calling is

00:24:09.069 --> 00:24:11.057
No matter what side that you are on

00:24:11.057 --> 00:24:14.036
This is something that we could all agree on

00:24:14.036 --> 00:24:19.049
If the senators and the congressmen twenty five phone calls

00:24:19.049 --> 00:24:21.055
On any issue

00:24:21.055 --> 00:24:22.043
On any given day

00:24:22.043 --> 00:24:23.027
It is noted

00:24:23.027 --> 00:24:26.078
When citizens by the hundreds of thousands start demanding that our government do something

00:24:26.078 --> 00:24:30.065
Suddenly it becomes in the national interest of the United States government to respond to this problem

00:24:30.065 --> 00:24:35.043
We have identified the twelve policy makers

00:24:35.043 --> 00:24:37.068
That could change the game regarding Kony

00:24:37.068 --> 00:24:39.051
So we targeting them

00:24:39.051 --> 00:24:41.054
On our website we have made it easy to write them directly

00:24:41.054 --> 00:24:43.022
Call them

00:24:43.022 --> 00:24:44.024
Meet with them

00:24:44.024 --> 00:24:46.056
And get their attention

00:24:46.056 --> 00:24:48.049
If my son were kidnapped and forced to kill

00:24:48.049 --> 00:24:50.057
It would be all over the news

00:24:50.057 --> 00:24:52.085
So we are making Kony world news

00:24:52.085 --> 00:24:56.089
By redefining the propaganda we see all day, everyday

00:24:56.089 --> 00:24:59.074
That dictates who and what we pay attention to

00:24:59.074 --> 00:25:02.093
a lot of people feel powerless to communicate their ideas

00:25:02.093 --> 00:25:05.097
they think that ok you know i'm not a corporation

00:25:05.097 --> 00:25:08.064
I don't own my own magazine or news station

00:25:08.064 --> 00:25:10.052
I just don't have any say

00:25:10.052 --> 00:25:12.015
but seeing what I've done

00:25:12.015 --> 00:25:15.019
I think it's empowered a lot of people to realize that one individual

00:25:15.019 --> 00:25:16.049
can make an impact

00:25:16.049 --> 00:25:18.005
and I actually want to demystify

00:25:18.005 --> 00:25:20.000
and say here are these really simple tools :

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.006
go out and rock it.

00:25:22.006 --> 00:25:29.056
And that's just what we intend to do.

00:25:29.056 --> 00:25:32.069
our goal is to change the conversation of our culture

00:25:32.069 --> 00:25:36.024
and get people to ask who is Joseph Kony

00:25:36.024 --> 00:25:39.050
We've printed hundreds of thousands of posters , stickers, yard signs

00:25:39.050 --> 00:25:41.012
and fliers

00:25:41.012 --> 00:25:42.045
that are , right now ,

00:25:42.045 --> 00:25:43.025
today,

00:25:43.025 --> 00:25:45.066
being put up in major cities around the world.

00:25:45.066 --> 00:25:48.044
We have thousands of Kony 2012 bracelets

00:25:48.044 --> 00:25:50.069
that we want everyone to wear

00:25:50.069 --> 00:25:52.011
this year only.

00:25:52.011 --> 00:25:54.080
Each bracelet has a unique ID number

00:25:54.080 --> 00:25:59.040
Input that number and you enter the mission to make Kony famous

00:25:59.040 --> 00:26:03.072
You can geo-tag your posters and track your impact in real time

00:26:03.072 --> 00:26:07.069
Everything you need is in a box called the Action Kit

00:26:07.069 --> 00:26:09.094
It has 2 bracelets, one for you and one to give away

00:26:09.094 --> 00:26:14.061
And if you want to help fund our life saving programs

00:26:14.061 --> 00:26:17.026
donate a few dollars a month through "Tri"

00:26:17.026 --> 00:26:19.095
And you can have the action kit for free

00:26:19.095 --> 00:26:22.055
Start making Kony famous today

00:26:22.055 --> 00:26:25.029
But all of these efforts will culminate in one day

00:26:25.029 --> 00:26:29.045
April 20th

00:26:29.045 --> 00:26:30.088
when we cover the night

00:26:30.088 --> 00:26:31.038
This is the day when we will meet at sundown

00:26:31.038 --> 00:26:34.075
and blink it in every street

00:26:34.075 --> 00:26:35.074
in every city

00:26:35.074 --> 00:26:36.084
till the sun comes up

00:26:36.084 --> 00:26:37.063
we will be smart and we will be thorough

00:26:37.063 --> 00:26:41.051
The rest of the world will go to bed friday night

00:26:41.051 --> 00:26:44.010
and wake up to hundreds of thousands of posters

00:26:44.010 --> 00:26:46.077
demanding justice on every corner

00:26:46.077 --> 00:27:07.085
It's always been that the decisions made by the few

00:27:07.085 --> 00:27:13.058
with the money and the power ,

00:27:13.058 --> 00:27:16.042
dictated by the priorities of their government and the stories in the media

00:27:16.042 --> 00:27:20.084
they determinate the lives and opportunities of their citizens

00:27:20.084 --> 00:27:26.014
but now there's something bigger than that

00:27:26.014 --> 00:27:28.064
the people of the world see each other

00:27:28.064 --> 00:27:31.015
and can protect each other

00:27:31.015 --> 00:27:35.002
it's turning the system upside down

00:27:35.002 --> 00:27:39.080
and it changes everything

00:27:39.080 --> 00:27:40.099
we are living in a new world , Facebook world

00:27:40.099 --> 00:27:44.017
in which 750 million people share ideas ,

00:27:44.017 --> 00:27:46.026
not thinking in borders

00:27:46.026 --> 00:27:48.014
it's a global community bigger than the U.S.

00:27:48.014 --> 00:27:52.009
Joseph Kony was committing crimes for 20 years

00:27:52.009 --> 00:27:53.096
and no one cared

00:27:53.096 --> 00:27:57.089
we care

00:27:57.089 --> 00:27:59.067
we have reached a crucial time in history

00:27:59.067 --> 00:28:01.093
where what we do or don't do

00:28:01.093 --> 00:28:03.007
will affect every generation to come

00:28:03.007 --> 00:28:10.020
arresting joseph Kony will prove

00:28:10.020 --> 00:28:11.048
that the world we live in has new rules

00:28:11.048 --> 00:28:15.006
that the technology that has brought our planet together

00:28:15.006 --> 00:28:19.009
is allowing us to respond to the problems of our friends

00:28:19.009 --> 00:28:23.007
When it ends finally by bringing Joseph Kony to justice

00:28:23.007 --> 00:28:28.059
it should be celebrated worldwide

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:29.037
We are not just studying human history

00:28:29.037 --> 00:28:33.084
At the end of my life

00:28:33.084 --> 00:28:34.049
I want to say that the world we have left behind

00:28:34.049 --> 00:28:38.088
is one that Gavin can be proud of

00:28:38.088 --> 00:28:42.064
a place that doesn't allow Joseph Konys or child soldiers

00:28:42.064 --> 00:28:45.030
A place for children

00:28:45.030 --> 00:28:49.022
have a child hood

00:28:49.022 --> 00:28:53.025
free from fear

00:28:53.025 --> 00:28:54.062
I'm gonna be like you dad

00:28:54.062 --> 00:28:55.052
when you grow up?

00:28:55.052 --> 00:28:56.035
Yeah

00:28:56.035 --> 00:28:56.099
I'm gonna come with you to Africa

00:28:56.099 --> 00:29:04.009
The better world we want is coming

00:29:04.009 --> 00:29:05.046
It's just waiting for us

00:29:05.046 --> 00:29:16.088
to stop at nothing.

00:29:16.088 --> 00:29:18.017
Nothing is more powerful than an idea

00:29:18.017 --> 00:29:19.077
whose time has come

00:29:19.077 --> 00:29:23.088
now

00:29:23.088 --> 00:29:29.094
There are 3 things you can do right now

00:29:29.094 --> 00:29:34.073
1. sign the pledge to show your support

00:29:34.073 --> 00:29:39.008
2. get the bracelet and action kit

00:29:39.008 --> 00:29:42.099
