http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_KonyWikipedia article about Joseph Kony, the subject of the film.
Wiki glosses it over pretty well...
There are American "advisors" in Central Africa now, helping the Ugandan forces track Kony. The group "Invisible Children" is a fundraising/lobbyist group advocating for the children caught in the middle, literally, of Kony's war. Nobody seems too clear on exactly who, or what, Kony is fighting, except anybody that opposes him.
*Totally my opinion from here on* I think helping to catch Kony is a more pressing issue for our lawmakers to hear about, and fund, than worryin' about what Rush said, or propping up some crooked bankers.
Watch the movie when you can. It makes the point much better than I do.
