KONY 2012

This is starting to make the rounds on Facebook and I thought I'd share it here. My attention span is equivalent to that of a sleepy 8 year old, but I watched the entire 30 minute movie. By the end I was outraged enough to try to do something, even if it was only sharing the information and posting a few dozen flyers next month. I'll let you make your own calls.

Thank you for this post.

Bookmarked, gonna spread it around a bit.

There's absolutely no doubt that this is a great film and movement for raising awareness about Joseph Kony and what's happening in parts of Africa but please also learn a little about Invisible Children (the not-for-profit behind KONY 2012) before deciding to promote this or donate to them.

The majority of info is very positive but nothing's perfect so I think it's worth checking negative critiques in order to make informed decisions. Link: http://visiblechildren.tumblr.com/

Agreed, more info is always better. That said, some of the negative critiques have been addressed by Invisible Children here: http://s3.amazonaws.com/www.invisiblechildren.com/critiques.html
