173
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,001
GAVIN: Him.

174
00:13:14,001 --> 00:13:18,001
JASON: It's obvious
that Kony should be stopped.

175
00:13:18,001 --> 00:13:23,001
The problem is, 99% of the
planet doesn't know who he is.

176
00:13:23,001 --> 00:13:28,001
If they knew, Kony would have
been stopped long ago.

177
00:13:47,001 --> 00:13:50,000
When my friends and I
came home from Uganda,

178
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
we thought that
if the government knew,

179
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,001
they would do something
to stop him.

180
00:13:54,001 --> 00:13:56,000
But everyone in Washington
we talked to

181
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,001
said there is no way
the United States

182
00:13:59,001 --> 00:14:01,000
will ever get involved

183
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
in a conflict
where our national security

184
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,001
or financial interests
aren't at stake.

185
00:14:07,001 --> 00:14:09,000
PRENDERGAST:
No administration --
Republican, Democrat,

186
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,001
Obama, Bush, Clinton,
doesn't matter --

187
00:14:11,001 --> 00:14:12,000
would do enough

188
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,001
because it's simply not
an important-enough issue

189
00:14:14,001 --> 00:14:18,000
on the radar screen
of American foreign policy.

190
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
JASON: Since the government
said it was impossible,

191
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,001
we didn't know what else to do
but tell everyone we could

192
00:14:26,001 --> 00:14:29,000
about Jacob
and the invisible children.

193

to as many people as possible

194
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,001
in such a way
that we can't be ignored.

195
00:14:33,001 --> 00:14:36,000
And when we did,
people were shocked,

196
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,001
and their awareness
turned into action.

197
00:14:39,001 --> 00:14:43,001
We started something --
a community.

198
00:14:43,001 --> 00:14:46,000
WOMAN: I have friends that have
been living in this conflict

199
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,001
their entire life.

200
00:14:48,001 --> 00:14:50,001
Fight for that because that is
what is gonna change this world,

201
00:14:50,001 --> 00:14:52,000
and that is what defines us.

202
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
JASON: We got creative,
and we got loud.

203
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,001
ALL: It's not over!
It's not over! It's not over!

204
00:15:00,001 --> 00:15:04,000
JASON: And as the LRA began
to move into other countries,

205
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,001
Jacob and other Ugandans
came to the U.S.

206
00:15:07,001 --> 00:15:12,001
to speak on behalf of all people
suffering because of Kony.

207
00:15:12,001 --> 00:15:14,001
Even though Uganda
was relatively safe,

208
00:15:14,001 --> 00:15:16,000
they felt compelled
to tell the world

209
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000
that Kony was still out there
and had to be stopped.

210
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,001
We built a community
around the idea

211
00:15:29,001 --> 00:15:33,001
that where you live shouldn't
determine whether you live.

212
00:15:33,001 --> 00:15:36,001
We were committed to stop Kony

213
00:15:36,001 --> 00:15:37,000
and rebuild
what he had destroyed.

214
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
And because we couldn't wait
for institutions

215
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000
or governments to step in,
we did it ourselves

216
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,001
with our time, talent,
and money.

217
00:15:48,001 --> 00:15:50,000
So we rebuilt schools.

218
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,000
We created jobs.

219
00:16:06,001 --> 00:16:08,000
And we built
an early warning radio network

220
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
on the front line of the war

221
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
to protect villages
from rebel attacks.

JASON: All of this was funded
by an army of young people

225
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
who put their money
toward their belief

226
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
in the value of all human life.

227
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,001
They gave a few dollars a month
of what little they had

228
00:16:33,001 --> 00:16:35,000
to a program called TRI

229
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
and proved
that a bunch of littles

230
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,001
could make a big difference.

231
00:16:39,001 --> 00:16:45,000

the unseen became visible.

thousands of people with us,

239
00:17:47,001 --> 00:17:49,000
we went back
to Washington, D.C.,

240
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,001
and we met with congressmen
and senators one by one

241

on both sides --
Republicans, Democrats --

242

243
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000

had to be stopped.

that are out there,

than one that -- that mutilates

246
00:18:06,001 --> 00:18:08,000
and takes the lives
of little kids.

These young members of the
Invisible Children Organization

248
00:18:11,001 --> 00:18:14,001
know that no child
should live in fear

00:18:14,001 --> 00:18:16,001
of being abducted or killed.

to become their voice.

00:18:22,001 --> 00:18:25,000
were invisible
to Washington policymakers.

the government finally heard us.

273
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,000
And in October of 2011,
a hundred American advisers

274
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,001
were sent into Central Africa
to assist the Ugandan army

in arresting Kony
and stopping the LRA.

276
00:19:36,001 --> 00:19:37,000
It was the first time in history

277

that the United States
took that kind of action

We've come so far.

But Kony is still out there.

282

He's recently changed
his tactics,

It's hard to look back
on some parts of human history.

286

Because when we heard
about injustice,

287
00:21:15,001 --> 00:21:20,001
we cared,
but we didn't know what to do.

288

Here it is. Ready?

In order for Kony
to be arrested this year,

00:21:43,001 --> 00:21:46,000
the Ugandan military
has to find him.

In order to find him,

they need
the technology and training

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

303

that people care
about arresting Kony,

304
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
the mission will be canceled.

305
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000
In order for the people to care,
they have to know.

not to celebrate him, but to
bring his crimes to the light.

320
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,001

Let's start
with the 20 culture makers.

Celebrities, athletes, and
billionaires have a loud voice,

325
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,001
and what they talk about
spreads instantly.

326
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,001
If our goal
is to get Kony's name known,

327
00:23:40,001 --> 00:23:42,000
the known should join us.

328
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
We are targeting

00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,001

to speak out about Kony

330

00:24:24,001 --> 00:24:27,001
suddenly it becomes
in the national interest

344
00:24:27,001 --> 00:24:30,000
of the United States government
to respond to this problem.

345
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
JASON: We've identified
the 12 policymakers

346
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
that could change the game
regarding Kony,

347
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,001
so we're targeting them.

348
00:24:37,001 --> 00:24:40,000
On our Website, we've made
it easy to write them directly,

349
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
call them, meet with them,
and get their attention.

350
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000
If my son were kidnapped
and forced to kill,

351
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,001
it would be all over the news.

352
00:24:48,001 --> 00:24:51,000
So we are making Kony world news

353
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,001
by redefining the propaganda
we see all day, every day

354
00:24:55,001 --> 00:24:58,000
that dictates who
and what we pay attention to.

355
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,000
FAIREY:
A lot of people feel powerless
to communicate their ideas.

356
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,001
They think that, "Okay,
you know, I'm not a corporation.

357
00:25:04,001 --> 00:25:07,001
"I don't own my own magazine
or news station.

358
00:25:07,001 --> 00:25:08,000
I just don't have any say."

359
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,001
But seeing what I've done,

360
00:25:10,001 --> 00:25:12,001
I think it's empowered
a lot of people to realize

361
00:25:12,001 --> 00:25:14,000
that one individual
can make an impact.

362
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,001
And I actually
want to demystify and say,

363
00:25:16,001 --> 00:25:17,000
"Here are these
really simple tools.

364
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,001
Go out and rock it."

365
00:25:19,001 --> 00:25:22,001
JASON: And that's just
what we intend to do.

366
00:25:22,001 --> 00:25:25,001
♪ I can't stop ♪

367
00:25:25,001 --> 00:25:30,000
JASON: Our goal is to change
the conversation of our culture

368
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,001
and get people to ask,
"Who is Joseph Kony?"

369
00:25:33,001 --> 00:25:36,000
We have printed hundreds
of thousands of posters,

370
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000
stickers, yard signs, and fliers
that are right now, today,

371
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,000
being put up in major cities
all over the world.

372
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
We have thousands
of "Kony 2012" bracelets

373
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,001
that we want everyone to wear
this year only.

374
00:25:50,001 --> 00:25:53,001
Each bracelet
has a unique I.D. number.

375
00:25:53,001 --> 00:25:57,001
Input that number and you enter
the mission to make Kony famous.

376
00:25:57,001 --> 00:25:59,001
You can geotag your posters

377
00:25:59,001 --> 00:26:02,000
and track your impact
in real time.

378
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,001
Everything you need is in a box
called the Action Kit.

379
00:26:06,001 --> 00:26:09,001
It has two bracelets -- one
for you and one to give away.

380
00:26:09,001 --> 00:26:12,000
And if you want to help fund
our lifesaving programs,

381
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000
donate a few dollars
a month through TRI

382
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,001
and you can have the Action Kit
for free.

383
00:26:18,001 --> 00:26:20,001
Start making Kony famous today,

384
00:26:20,001 --> 00:26:24,000
but all of these efforts
will culminate on one day --

385
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,001
April 20th --
when we cover the night.

386
00:26:27,001 --> 00:26:30,000
This is the day
when we will meet at sundown

387
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,001
and blanket every street

388
00:26:32,001 --> 00:26:34,000
in every city
till the sun comes up.

389
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,001
We will be smart,
and we will be thorough.

390
00:26:37,001 --> 00:26:39,001
The rest of the world
will go to bed Friday night

391
00:26:39,001 --> 00:26:42,000
and wake up to hundreds
of thousands of posters

392
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,001
demanding justice
on every corner.

393
00:26:44,001 --> 00:26:51,001
♪ I can't stop ♪

394
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:58,000
♪ I can't stop ♪

395
00:26:58,001 --> 00:27:00,000
♪ I can't stop ♪

396
00:27:04,001 --> 00:27:08,000
JASON: It's always been that
the decisions made by the few

397
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
with the money and the power

398
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
dictated the priorities
of their government

399
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000
and the stories in the media.

400
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,000
They determine the lives and the
opportunities of their citizens.

401
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,001
But now there is something
bigger than that.

402
00:27:23,001 --> 00:27:26,001
The people of the world
see each other

403
00:27:26,001 --> 00:27:29,000
and can protect each other.

404
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,001
It's turning the system
upside down,

405
00:27:32,001 --> 00:27:35,001
and it changes everything.

406
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,000
We have reached
a crucial time in history

407
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,001
where what we do
or don't do right now

408
00:28:01,001 --> 00:28:03,001
will affect every generation
to come.

409
00:28:03,001 --> 00:28:07,001
Arresting Joseph Kony will prove

410
00:28:07,001 --> 00:28:09,001
that the world we live in
has new rules,

411
00:28:09,001 --> 00:28:13,000
that the technology that has
brought our planet together

412
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,001
is allowing us to respond
to the problems of our friends.

413
00:28:23,001 --> 00:28:26,000
We are not just studying
human history.

414
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
We are shaping it.

415
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,001
At the end of my life,

416
00:28:31,001 --> 00:28:34,001
I want to say that the world
we've left behind

417
00:28:34,001 --> 00:28:37,001
is one that Gavin
can be proud of,

418
00:28:37,001 --> 00:28:41,000
a place that doesn't allow
Joseph Konys and child soldiers,

419
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,000
a place where children,
no matter where they live,

420
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000
have a childhood free from fear.

421
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,001
GAVIN:
I'm gonna be like you, Dad.

422
00:28:49,001 --> 00:28:51,000
JASON: When you grow up?

423
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,000
-GAVIN: Yeah.
-JASON: Are you sure?

424
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,000
GAVIN: I'm gonna come with you
to Africa.

425
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,001
JASON: The better world we want
is coming.

426
00:29:00,001 --> 00:29:05,000
It's just waiting for us
to stop at nothing.
