This was a fantastic movie, despite some low reviews I'd seen. For those of us who don't really stay in touch with global news, it's a real eye opener to the horrible things that are out there. I totally agree with the way he handles things too. Often the only answer to violence, is violence in return.

While watching this movie, I was reminded of something my mother said when looking at all the animals that need homes but are put down every year. You can't save them all.
I felt the same way watching this and Sam's frustration trying. Thing is, with people that think the way Childers does, we go in trying, we fight, we do what we can and we have big hearts. Kony could and would never win with people like this. Maybe we can't save them all, but we're sure gonna try. Such an excellent movie. I had been wanting to see this for quite some time but there were never links.
Funny how there are links very quickly to some of the dumbest movies made but when a great film like this comes out, it takes forever to get it posted.
Well worth the wait. Great story and a fight that will be won some day. If you're hesitating to watch this, don't. It's fantastic.

this is the second best movie of the year first is anonymous to me but this movie had tears coming out of me and i didnt expect it. Its a true story and its gut wrentching, i think it finds a little part of each of us, the part of where we were going threw a hard time and pulls that out. And it shows you that you can turn around, it was the second best movie of 2011 and got no attention how sad.
