Since you're a documentarian, thought you might know: What's up with all the white Americans making films like Kony2012 and War Dance? I know there have been a lot of documentaries made about the LRA's child soldiers, but are there any films (other than yours) made by Ugandans themselves?

I mean, technically, the fact "it's some white people on Facebook" is one of the legitimate problems with Invisible Children. You're right: That's not the main issue, but you can't discount that there are legitimate race and nationality issues at play here.

EDIT: Used the word "issue" a lot. What I meant to say was: Yeah, it sucks to hear unproductive racial complaints, but in a case like this, where agency and, in some cases, sovereignty are really at play, you can't discount that all comments about race as pure keyboard cynicism.
