KONY 2012
-
0:03 - 0:05Nothing is more powerful than an idea
-
0:05 - 0:08whose time has come now
-
0:25 - 0:34Right now, there are more people on facebook than there were on the planet 200 years ago.
-
0:36 - 0:40Humanity's greatest desire is to belong and connect.
-
0:41 - 0:45And now, we see each other. We hear each other.
-
0:45 - 0:46"Grandpa I love you!"
-
0:46 - 0:47"I love you!"
-
0:47 - 0:49"Why.. why won't it take a picture?"
-
0:50 - 0:54We share what we love and it reminds us what we all have in common.
-
0:54 - 0:58"Dug out alive and well after seven and a half days.."
-
0:58 - 1:04"If you believe in yourself, you'll know how to ride a bike! Watch and learn!"
-
1:04 - 1:10"So now technically, your device is on. Can you tell?"
-
1:10 - 1:15"Oh! It's exciting!"
-
1:15 - 1:19And this connection is changing the way the world works.
-
1:19 - 1:21Governments are trying to keep up.
-
1:21 - 1:24Now we can test the freedom.
-
1:24 - 1:27And older generations are concerned.
-
1:27 - 1:30"Many people are very concerned about tomorrow. They could get worse next year.
-
1:30 - 1:34The game has new rules.
-
1:34 - 1:40The next 27 minutes are an experiment.
-
1:40 - 2:14But in order for it to work, you have to pay attention.
-
2:14 - 2:20I can hear him!
-
2:20 - 2:24Ever single person in the world started this way.
-
2:24 - 2:29He didn't chose where or when he was born.
-
2:29 - 2:34But because he's here, he matters.
-
2:34 - 2:38Yeah! We've been waiting for you! You made it!
-
2:38 - 2:48My name is Jason Russell and this is my son, Gavin.
-
2:48 - 2:56He loves jumping on the trampoline, being a ninja, and dancing.
-
2:56 - 2:57What are you doing?
-
2:57 - 2:58Making a snow angel.
-
2:58 - 3:00How do you do that?
-
3:00 - 3:00You do this!
-
3:00 - 3:06And just like his dad, he likes being in movies
-
3:06 - 3:07Action!
-
3:07 - 3:12Look out! Look out people! Run! It's a bomb!
-
3:12 - 3:19And making movies.
-
3:19 - 3:22Daddy watch this!
-
3:22 - 3:26I think we got the video
-
3:26 - 3:29But he was born into a pretty complicated world.
-
3:29 - 3:35And as a dad, I want him to grow up in a better world than I did.
-
3:35 - 3:37And because of the course of events in my life, I see a way to get there.
-
3:37 - 3:42It has become my job.
-
3:42 - 3:44Who are you to end a war?
-
3:44 - 3:47I'm here to tell you who are you not to.
-
3:47 - 3:48Hey Gavin, what's up?
-
3:48 - 3:51Years before Gavin was born, the course of my life was changed entirely by another boy.
-
3:51 - 3:56And who is this right here?
-
3:56 - 3:57Jacob
-
3:57 - 3:59Who's Jacob?
-
3:59 - 4:03Jacob is our friend in Africa.
-
4:03 - 4:11It's been almost ten years since Jacob and I became friends.
-
4:11 - 4:18It's okay, they're nice. They're different from sharks.
-
4:18 - 4:27But when my friends and I first met him in Uganda in Central Africa, it was in very different circumstances.
-
4:27 - 4:34He was running for his life.
-
4:34 - 4:36Uh, you go to school here
-
4:36 - 4:36Yes
-
4:36 - 4:38That's how you know English so well?
-
4:38 - 4:39I know.
-
4:39 - 4:42How many nights have you stayed here?
-
4:42 - 4:43Hello
-
4:43 - 4:45You are making our work very difficult
-
4:45 - 4:50You stop that thing now
-
4:50 - 4:54The night I first met Jacob, he told me what he and other children in Northern Uganda were living through.
-
4:54 - 5:01We worry the rebels when they arrest us again then they will kill us
-
5:01 - 5:12My brother tried to escape then they kill him using Panga
-
5:12 - 5:14They cut his neck
-
5:14 - 5:15Did you see it?
-
5:15 - 5:16I saw
-
5:16 - 5:17We fear that if we sleep at our home that we can be abducted by the rebels
-
5:17 - 5:21Because our home is far away from town
-
5:21 - 5:26They will catch us then they will take us there in the bush
-
5:26 - 5:28We come here to save our life
-
5:28 - 5:49I cannot believe that
-
5:49 - 5:51You cannot believe it?
-
5:51 - 5:54This has been going on for years?
-
5:54 - 5:58If that happened one night in America, it would be on the cover of Newsweek.
-
5:58 - 6:04What is it that you want to be when you grow up?
-
6:04 - 6:12For me I wanted to be lawyer but I don't have money to pay my school fees
-
6:12 - 6:14So that I learn and then become a lawyer
-
6:14 - 6:16Hmm.
-
6:16 - 6:17Yes
-
6:17 - 6:20After spending a few weeks with Jacob, he told me something I would never forget.
-
6:20 - 6:28So if is better when you kill us and if possible, you can kill us you kill us
-
6:28 - 6:30For us we don't want now to stay
-
6:30 - 6:32You don't want to stay on Earth?
-
6:32 - 6:35We are only two, no one is taking care of us
-
6:35 - 6:37We are not doing to school, so
-
6:37 - 6:40You would rather die than stay on Earth?
-
6:40 - 6:40Yes
-
6:40 - 6:42Now, even now?
-
6:42 - 6:43Even now.
-
6:43 - 6:47How are we going to stay in our future?
-
6:47 - 6:54He told me more about his brother and what he would say to him if he were still alive.
-
6:54 - 6:56I love you but now I miss you
-
6:56 - 7:00So it is better when we meet
-
7:00 - 7:04Wa are not going to meet but we may meet in heaven
-
7:04 - 7:05You see?
-
7:05 - 7:06So it is better
-
7:06 - 7:07I will not talk much
-
7:07 - 7:08I will start something
-
7:08 - 7:10Because if I saw my brother once again I don't
-
7:10 - 7:22Hmm?
-
7:22 - 7:23It's okay.
-
7:23 - 7:31Jacob, it's okay
-
7:31 - 7:34Everything in my heart told me to do something
-
7:34 - 7:37And so I made him a promise
-
7:37 - 7:43We are also going to do everything that we can to stop them
-
7:43 - 7:45Do you hear my words?
-
7:45 - 7:46Yes
-
7:46 - 7:47Do you know what I mean?
-
7:47 - 7:48Yes
-
7:48 - 7:49Hmm?
-
7:49 - 7:50Yes
-
7:50 - 7:52We are. We're going to stop them.
-
7:52 - 8:00We're going to stop them
-
8:00 - 8:08I made that promise to Jacob not knowing what it would mean but now I do.
-
8:08 - 8:11Over the past nine years, I have fought to fulfill it.
-
8:11 - 8:14And the fight has led me here.
-
8:14 - 8:17To this movie you're watching.
-
8:17 - 8:18Because that promise is not just about Jacob or me
-
8:18 - 8:22It's also about you
-
8:22 - 8:27And this year, 2012, is the year that we can finally fulfill it
-
8:27 - 8:34And if we succeed, we change the course of human history
-
8:34 - 8:36But time is running out.
-
8:36 - 8:40To level with you, this movie expires on December 31, 2012
-
8:40 - 8:45And its only purpose is to stop the rebel group, the LRA
-
8:45 - 8:47And their leader, Joseph Kony
-
8:47 - 8:51And I'm about to tell you exactly how we're going to do it.
-
8:51 - 9:06So the thing is that my son Gavin has never
-
9:06 - 9:12I've never really explained to him what I do
-
9:12 - 9:14He knows I work in Africa
-
9:14 - 9:17But he doesn't know what the war's about
-
9:17 - 9:18Or who Joseph Kony is
-
9:18 - 9:22And I'm gonna explain it to him for the first time today
-
9:22 - 9:25That's what we're going
-
9:25 - 9:26So, Gav, are you ready?
-
9:26 - 9:26Yeah
-
9:26 - 9:27I'm gonna ask you some questions
-
9:27 - 9:28Okay
-
9:28 - 9:31And you can just look at me and answer the questions
-
9:31 - 9:33I'm kinda nervous
-
9:33 - 9:35What do I do for a job?
-
9:35 - 9:38Ah! You stop the bad guys from being mean
-
9:38 - 9:41Who are the bad guys?
-
9:41 - 9:42Um
-
9:42 - 9:45Do you know
-
9:45 - 9:46Star Wars people
-
9:46 - 9:48Star Wars people? Those are the bad guys?
-
9:48 - 9:48Yeah
-
9:48 - 9:50Can I tell you the bad guy's name?
-
9:50 - 9:51Yeah
-
9:51 - 9:55This is the guy, Joseph Kony
-
9:55 - 9:57He's the bad guy?
-
9:57 - 9:59Yeah
-
9:59 - 10:01Who is this?
-
10:01 - 10:02Jacob
-
10:02 - 10:08Joseph Kony, he has an army, okay?
-
10:08 - 10:12And what he does is he takes children from their parents
-
10:12 - 10:17And he gives them a gun to shoot
-
10:17 - 10:20And he makes them shoot and kill other people.
-
10:20 - 10:24But they're not gonna do what he says because they're nice guys, right?
-
10:24 - 10:31Yeah they don't want to do what he says
-
10:31 - 10:32But he forces them to do bad things
-
10:32 - 10:34What do you think about that?
-
10:34 - 10:37It's sad
-
10:37 - 10:43I couldn't explain to Gavin the details of what Joseph Kony really does
-
10:43 - 10:57Because the truth is, Kony abducts kids just like Gavin.
-
10:57 - 11:08For 26 years, Kony has been kidnapping children into his rebel group, the LRA
-
11:08 - 11:11Turning the girls into sex slaves
-
11:11 - 11:19And the boys into child soldiers
-
11:19 - 11:24He makes them mutilate people's faces
-
11:24 - 11:30And he forces them to kill their own parents
-
11:30 - 11:35And this is not just a few children
-
11:35 - 11:49It's been over 30,000 of them
-
11:49 - 11:52And Jacob was one of those children
-
11:52 - 11:55As if Kony's crimes aren't bad enough
-
11:55 - 11:59He's not fighting for any cause, but only to maintain his power
-
11:59 - 12:02He is not supported by anyone
-
12:02 - 12:07And he has repeatedly used peace talks to rearm and murder again and again
-
12:07 - 12:14Kony, different times, proposed peace and then just regain strength and attack
-
12:14 - 12:19This is the head prosecutor for the International Criminal Court
-
12:19 - 12:25In 2002 when the court was started, their job was
-
12:25 - 12:28To find and demand the arrest of the world's worst criminals
-
12:28 - 12:32Although there are a lot of war lords, murderers, and dictators in the world
-
12:32 - 12:38The perversity of Kony's crimes made him first on the court's list
-
12:38 - 12:41Kony's the first guy indicted by the ICC
-
12:41 - 12:43The crimes are basically crimes against humanity
-
12:43 - 12:46And war crimes committed against the civillian population
-
12:46 - 12:50Including murder, sexual slavery, rapes, abductions
-
12:50 - 12:53We need to plan how to arrest Kony
-
12:53 - 12:55Start to plan
-
12:55 - 12:56And it has to be serious
-
12:56 - 12:58In fact, the only way to stop Kony is to show him
-
12:58 - 13:00Hey, we're going to arrest you
-
13:00 - 13:10What do you think we should do about it?
-
13:10 - 13:11You should stop him
-
13:11 - 13:12The criminal here is Kony.
-
13:12 - 13:13Stop him and then solve all the problems
-
13:13 - 13:14We should stop who?
-
13:14 - 13:18Him.
-
13:18 - 13:21It's obvious that Kony should be stopped
-
13:21 - 13:25The problem is 99% of the planet doesn't know who he is
-
13:25 - 13:29If they knew, Kony would have been stopped long ago
-
13:29 - 13:32Let the world, let the international community
-
13:32 - 13:34Take justice to him there
-
13:34 - 13:35Follow him wherever he is
-
13:35 - 13:37First to rescue our children
-
13:37 - 13:40And secondly, to deliver the justice
-
13:40 - 13:43We are determined to cooperate with any friend of Uganda
-
13:43 - 13:48To ensure that this mindless killing and slaughter is ended
-
13:48 - 13:52When my friends and I came home from Uganda
-
13:52 - 13:57We thought that if the government knew, they would do something to stop him
-
13:57 - 13:59But everyone in Washington we talked to said
-
13:59 - 14:03There is no way the United States will ever get involved
-
14:03 - 14:08In a conflict where our national security or financial interests aren't at stake
-
14:08 - 14:13No administration, republican, democrat, Obama, Bush, Clinton, doesn't matter
-
14:13 - 14:17Would do enough because it's simply not an important enough issue
-
14:17 - 14:19On the radar screen of American Foreign Policy
-
14:19 - 14:23Since the government said it was impossible
-
14:23 - 14:25We didn't know what else to do
-
14:25 - 14:30But tell everyone we could about Jacob and the Invisible Children
-
14:30 - 14:34We're going to show this movie to as many people as possible
-
14:34 - 14:35In such a way that we can't be ignored
-
14:35 - 14:37And when we did, people were shocked
-
14:37 - 14:41And their awareness turned into action
-
14:41 - 14:43We started something
-
14:43 - 14:45A community
-
14:45 - 14:52I have friends that have been living in this conflict their entire life
-
14:52 - 14:56Fight for that, because that is what is going to change this world
-
14:56 - 14:57And that is what defines us
-
14:57 - 14:58We got creative and we got loud
-
14:58 - 15:03It's not over! It's not over! It's not over!
-
15:03 - 15:06And as the LRA began to move into other countries
-
15:06 - 15:09Jacob and other Ugandans came to the US
-
15:09 - 15:14To speak on behalf of all people suffering because of Kony
-
15:14 - 15:16Even though Uganda was relatively safe
-
15:16 - 15:20They felt compelled to tell the world that Kony was still out there
-
15:20 - 15:22And had to be stopped
-
15:22 - 15:25I'm here so proud advocating for the people who are back at home
-
15:25 - 15:28And this change we are going to make is going to last forever
-
15:28 - 15:35We built a community around the idea that where you live
-
15:35 - 15:36Shouldn't determine whether you live
-
15:36 - 15:38We were committed to stop Kony and rebuild what he had destroyed
-
15:38 - 15:44And because we couldn't wait for and institutions or governments to step in
-
15:44 - 15:46We did it ourselves
-
15:46 - 15:50With our time, talent, and money
-
15:50 - 15:52So we rebuilt schools
-
15:52 - 15:57The best you can offer a child is by letting them be independent
-
15:57 - 15:59And that was providing education
-
15:59 - 16:01We created jobs
-
16:01 - 16:05I have seen the lives of those who have been hopeless
-
16:05 - 16:07Now they have hope
-
16:07 - 16:11And we built and early warning radio network on the front line of the war
-
16:11 - 16:18To protect villages from rebel attacks
-
16:18 - 16:20So you update real-time what's happening in a war zone 8,000 miles away
-
16:20 - 16:26All of this was funded by an army of young people
-
16:26 - 16:35Who put their money toward their belief in the value of all human life
-
16:35 - 16:36They gave a few dollars a month of what little they had
-
16:36 - 16:40To a program called Tri
-
16:40 - 16:41And proved that a bunch of littles could make a big difference
-
16:41 - 16:46And as a result the unseen became visible
-
16:46 - 16:50We've seen these kids
-
16:50 - 16:54We've heard their cries
-
16:54 - 16:58This war must end
-
16:58 - 17:02We will not stop
-
17:02 - 17:05We will not fear
-
17:05 - 17:10We will fight war
-
17:10 - 17:29Deliver your voice
-
17:29 - 17:31I've talked to people from Mexico, from Canada
-
17:31 - 17:33From every other state that I can think of
-
17:33 - 17:35We're all doing this for the exact same reason
-
17:35 - 17:37And we're all coming from completely different places
-
17:37 - 17:39This is what the world should be like
-
17:39 - 17:49So with hundreds of thousands of people with us
-
17:49 - 17:51We went back to Washington DC and we met with Congressmen and Senators
-
17:51 - 17:57One by one
-
17:57 - 18:00On both sides, republicans, democrats, and they all agreed with us
-
18:00 - 18:03Joseph Kony's crimes had to be stopped
-
18:03 - 18:07Of all the problems that are out there, none is more severe than one that
-
18:07 - 18:10Mutilates the lives of little kids
-
18:10 - 18:13These young members of the Invisible Children organization
-
18:13 - 18:18Know that no child should live in fear of being abducted or killed
-
18:18 - 18:23So they were determined to become their voice
-
18:23 - 18:25They realized that these African children and families
-
18:25 - 18:27Were invisible to Washington policy makers
-
18:27 - 18:30So they decided to make them visible
-
18:30 - 18:32And what I was told would never happen
-
18:32 - 18:36Suddenly became possible
-
18:36 - 18:39In furtherance of the Congress' stated policy, I have authorized
-
18:39 - 18:43A small number of US forces to deploy to Central Africa
-
18:43 - 18:46To provide assistance to regional forces that are working toward
-
18:46 - 18:49The removal of Joseph Kony from the battlefield
-
18:49 - 18:56Sincerely, Barack Obama
-
18:56 - 18:58The surprise announcement came in a letter from the White House
-
18:58 - 19:01The US president's decision commits US troops to help
-
19:01 - 19:02Through advice and assistance
-
19:02 - 19:06Not putting Americans into combat, to help the countries of the region
-
19:06 - 19:09End this threat once and for all
-
19:09 - 19:14And that was a worthwhile investment
-
19:14 - 19:15We used to think that we could not do it
-
19:15 - 19:19And now when I see we can do it I am overwhelmed
-
19:19 - 19:27After 8 years of work, the government finally heard us
-
19:27 - 19:31And in October of 2011, 100 American advisors were sent into Central Africa
-
19:31 - 19:37To assist the Ugandan army in arresting Kony and stopping the LRA
-
19:37 - 19:41It was the first time in history that the United States took that kind of action
-
19:41 - 19:46Because the people demanded it
-
19:46 - 19:47Not for self defense, but because it was right
-
19:47 - 20:22We have come some far
-
20:22 - 20:26But Kony is still out there
-
20:26 - 20:29He recently changed his tactics
-
20:29 - 20:33Making it more difficult to capture him
-
20:33 - 20:39And international support could be removed at anytime
-
20:39 - 20:40If we take the pressure off
-
20:40 - 20:41If we are not successful
-
20:41 - 20:43He is going to be growing his numbers
-
20:43 - 20:48People forget and you got remind them
-
20:48 - 20:49And take numbers to remind them
-
20:49 - 20:52And if interest wanes, then
-
20:52 - 20:54It will just, it will go away
-
20:54 - 20:55And I'd end up standing out there alone
-
20:55 - 20:57Trying to do something to
-
20:57 - 21:00Support completing the mission
-
21:00 - 21:01It got be 2012
-
21:01 - 21:03It is not bad for the youth
-
21:03 - 21:04It is bad for the world if we fail
-
21:04 - 21:07It is not important just for Ugandan people
-
21:07 - 21:10It is important for everyone
-
21:10 - 21:17It is hard to look back at some parts of human history
-
21:17 - 21:20Because when we heard about injustice
-
21:20 - 21:21We cared
-
21:21 - 21:24But we didn’t know what to do
-
21:24 - 21:26Too often
-
21:26 - 21:28We did nothing
-
21:28 - 21:29But it we going to change that
-
21:29 - 21:33We have to start somewhere
-
21:33 - 21:35So we starting here
-
21:35 - 21:36With Joseph Kony
-
21:36 - 21:39Because now, we know what to do
-
21:39 - 21:41Here it is
-
21:41 - 21:42Ready?
-
21:42 - 21:45In order for Kony to be arrested this year
-
21:45 - 21:50The Ugandan military has to find him
-
21:50 - 21:51In order to find him
-
21:51 - 21:56They need the technology and training to track him in the vast jungle
-
21:56 - 21:59That where the Americans advisors come in
-
21:59 - 22:02But it order for the Americans advisors to be there
-
22:02 - 22:05The US government has to deploy them
-
22:05 - 22:06They have done that
-
22:06 - 22:09But it the government doesn't believe the people care about arresting Kony
-
22:09 - 22:12The mission will be cancelled
-
22:12 - 22:15In order for the people they care, they have to know.
-
22:15 - 22:27This is the dream
-
22:27 - 22:29Kony arrested for all the world to see
-
22:29 - 22:34And for the abducted children returned home
-
22:34 - 22:37Here is the biggest problem
-
22:37 - 22:38Want to know what it is?
-
22:38 - 22:39Yeah
-
22:39 - 22:40Nobody knows who he is
-
22:40 - 22:46But I know who he is
-
22:46 - 22:51Because I see him on this picture right now
-
22:51 - 22:53He is not famous
-
22:53 - 22:56He is invisible, joseph Kony is invisible
-
22:56 - 23:01Here is how we going to make him visible
-
23:01 - 23:04We are going to make joseph Kony a household name
-
23:04 - 23:05Not to celebrate him
-
23:05 - 23:09But to bring his crime to the light
-
23:09 - 23:11And we are starting this year
-
23:11 - 23:132012
-
23:13 - 23:16We are targeting 20 culture makers and 12 policy makers
-
23:16 - 23:28To use their power for good
-
23:28 - 23:29Let's start with the 20 culture makers
-
23:29 - 23:31Celebrities, athletes, and billionaires Have a loud voice
-
23:31 - 23:31And what they talk about spreads instantly
-
23:31 - 23:32I want. I'd like indicted war criminals to enjoy the same level of celebrity as me
-
23:32 - 23:33That seems fair
-
23:33 - 23:40That is our objective. Is to just shine a light on it
-
23:40 - 23:43If our goal is to get Kony's name known
-
23:43 - 23:45The know should join us
-
23:45 - 23:51We are targeting twenty of the most divers and influential culture makers
-
23:51 - 23:52To speak out about Kony
-
23:52 - 23:53And make him famous
-
23:53 - 23:54Then we are going after policy makers
-
23:54 - 24:01The one that has the authority to see Kony captured
-
24:01 - 24:05They decides if the advisors stay or leave
-
24:05 - 24:08So we need to remind them that in this election year
-
24:08 - 24:10The fighting and the name calling is
-
24:10 - 24:12No matter what side that you are on
-
24:12 - 24:14This is something that we could all agree on
-
24:14 - 24:19If the senators and the congressmen twenty five phone calls
-
24:19 - 24:22On any issue
-
24:22 - 24:22On any given day
-
24:22 - 24:23It is noted
-
24:23 - 24:27When citizens by the hundreds of thousands start demanding that our government do something
-
24:27 - 24:31Suddenly it becomes in the national interest of the United States government to respond to this problem
-
24:31 - 24:35We have identified the twelve policy makers
-
24:35 - 24:38That could change the game regarding Kony
-
24:38 - 24:40So we targeting them
-
24:40 - 24:42On our website we have made it easy to write them directly
-
24:42 - 24:43Call them
-
24:43 - 24:44Meet with them
-
24:44 - 24:47And get their attention
-
24:47 - 24:48If my son were kidnapped and forced to kill
-
24:48 - 24:51It would be all over the news
-
24:51 - 24:53So we are making Kony world news
-
24:53 - 24:57By redefining the propaganda we see all day, everyday
-
24:57 - 25:00That dictates who and what we pay attention to
-
25:00 - 25:03a lot of people feel powerless to communicate their ideas
-
25:03 - 25:06they think that ok you know i'm not a corporation
-
25:06 - 25:09I don't own my own magazine or news station
-
25:09 - 25:11I just don't have any say
-
25:11 - 25:12but seeing what I've done
-
25:12 - 25:15I think it's empowered a lot of people to realize that one individual
-
25:15 - 25:16can make an impact
-
25:16 - 25:18and I actually want to demystify
-
25:18 - 25:20and say here are these really simple tools :
-
25:20 - 25:22go out and rock it.
-
25:22 - 25:30And that's just what we intend to do.
-
25:30 - 25:33our goal is to change the conversation of our culture
-
25:33 - 25:36and get people to ask who is Joseph Kony
-
25:36 - 25:40We've printed hundreds of thousands of posters , stickers, yard signs
-
25:40 - 25:41and fliers
-
25:41 - 25:42that are , right now ,
-
25:42 - 25:43today,
-
25:43 - 25:46being put up in major cities around the world.

25:46 - 25:48We have thousands of Kony 2012 bracelets
-
25:48 - 25:51that we want everyone to wear
-
25:51 - 25:52this year only.
-
25:52 - 25:55Each bracelet has a unique ID number
-
25:55 - 25:59Input that number and you enter the mission to make Kony famous
-
25:59 - 26:04You can geo-tag your posters and track your impact in real time
-
26:04 - 26:08Everything you need is in a box called the Action Kit

-
26:23 - 26:25But all of these efforts will culminate in one day
-
26:25 - 26:29April 20th
-
26:29 - 26:31when we cover the night

26:44 - 26:47demanding justice on every corner

-
27:08 - 27:14with the money and the power ,
-
27:14 - 27:16dictated by the priorities of their government and the stories in the media
-
27:16 - 27:21they determinate the lives and opportunities of their citizens
