First I have seen of this. What is it?
Jack, watch the movie. It will be self explanatory.
For some reason, slow connection I suppose, I did not see the video so I went on a search quest. I found a great deal. An eye opener for sure. I will be among the monetary supporters shortly.

Well, certainly NOT by sending in US Military into Uganda. This is some pretty slick propaganda, I'll give it that. Here's another perspective, I think it's definitely worth reading.
there are serious misrepresentations and also some intended or unintended consequences of the film project.These must be spelt out, so that all the children and even adults who are being called upon to assist in can have a clear true picture of the facts and realities into which they are being invited to participate. ?My Friend, we are now all starting to wonder why the filmmakers and many supporters of the project are furiously non-accepting of any concerned voices from Uganda about the misrepresentations in the film and the filmmakers’ blanket support for the American military deployments in the region, which many Ugandans view with suspicion and even distaste.It is worth noting this may, even in the short and medium term, create an environment where many more Konys are created in Uganda. ?So what are the misrepresentations??(1)-The war in Northern Uganda ended over six years ago, and Kony has never been active in Northern Uganda since then. ?(2)-What the people in the northern part of Uganda are now faced with is the abject poverty, lack of medicine, illiteracy, incurable diseases like nodding disease, which has killed hundreds of children and infected thousands - most of these problems being a direct result of corruption and poor governance by the current leaders in Uganda. ?(3)-The film mentions nothing about the fact that Uganda government troops also killed, raped, and maimed civilians in the region Indeed on several occasions it was found that the government soldiers would pretend to be Kony rebels and cause deaths for some crazy PR aims.

The KONY 2012 campaign sparked global awareness about the atrocities committed by Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army. While it ignited crucial conversations about activism and accountability, its impact waned over time due to various controversies. Meanwhile, Saxenda (liraglutide) a medication used for weight management, underscores the importance of addressing health concerns alongside social issues, highlighting the multifaceted nature of global challenges.
