KONY 2012
-
Not SyncedRight now, there are more people on Facebook than there were on the planet two hundred years ago.
-
Not SyncedHumanity's greatest desire is to belong and connect,
-
Not Syncedand now we see each other. We hear each other.
-
Not SyncedWe share what we love and it reminds us what we all have in common.
-
Not Syncedand this connection is changing the way the world works.
-
Not SyncedGovernments are trying to keep up...
-
Not Syncedand older generations are concerned.
-
Not SyncedThe game has new rules.
-
Not SyncedThe next twenty seven minutes are an experiment.
-
Not SyncedBut, in order for it to work, you have to pay attention.
-
Not SyncedEvery single person in the world started this way.
-
Not SyncedHe didn't choose where or when he was born...
-
Not Syncedbut, because he's here...he matters.
-
Not SyncedMy name is Jason Russell and this is my son, Gavin.
-
Not SyncedHe loves jumping on the trampoline, being a ninja and dancing.
-
Not SyncedAnd just like his dad...
-
Not Syncedhe likes being in movies,
-
Not Syncedand making movies.
-
Not SyncedBut, he was born into a pretty complicated world.
-
Not SyncedAnd as a dad, I want him to grow up in a better world than I did.
-
Not SyncedAnd because of the course of events in my life,
-
Not SyncedI see a way to get there.
-
Not SyncedIt has become my job.
-
Not SyncedYears before Gavin was born,
-
Not Syncedthe course of my life was changed entirely
-
Not Syncedby another boy.
-
Not SyncedIt's been almost ten years since Jacob and I became friends.
-
Not SyncedBut when my friends and I first met him, in Uganda in central Africa...
-
Not Syncedit was in very different circumstances.
-
Not SyncedHe was running for his life.
-
Not SyncedThe night I first met Jacob, he told me what he and other children in northern Uganda were living through.
-
Not SyncedAfter spending a few weeks with Jacob,
-
Not Syncedhe told me something I would never forget.
-
Not SyncedHe told me more about his brother
-
Not Syncedand what he would say to him if he were still alive.
-
Not SyncedEverything in my heart told me to do something
-
Not Syncedand so I made him a promise.
-
Not SyncedI made that promise to Jacob, not knowing what it would mean.
-
Not SyncedBut now I do.
-
Not SyncedOver the past nine years, I have fought to fulfill it
-
Not Syncedand the fight has lead me here,
-
Not Syncedto this move you're watching.
-
Not SyncedBecause that promise is not just about Jacob, or me...
-
Not SyncedIt's also about you, and this year...2012
-
Not Syncedis the year that we can finally fulfill it.
-
Not SyncedAnd if we succeed, we change the course of human history.
-
Not SyncedBut, time is running out...
-
Not SyncedTo level with you, this movie expires on December 31, 2012
-
Not Syncedand it's only purpose is to stop the rebel group, the LRA
-
Not Syncedand their leader, Joseph Kony.
-
Not Syncedand I'm about to tell you exactly how we're going to do it...
-
Not SyncedSo, the thing is...my son, Gavin, has never...
-
Not SyncedI've never explained to him what I do,
-
Not Syncedhe knows I work in Africa, but
-
Not Syncedhe doesn't know what the war is about
-
Not Syncedor who Joseph Kony is, so I'm going to explain it to him
-
Not Syncedfor the first time, today. That's what we're doing.
