If you can read this or type in your comments, that means you're sitting behind the luxury of a computer. Instead of arguing with other viewers i guess the best we can do is make as many people aware of these atrocities . I mean look how many views in 2 years compared to a rap video with degrading lyrics and images. Millions watch us degrade ourselves in sleazy videos clips and ignore the real world. Peace!

No need to say "white" elite, everything is being manipulated by AN elite where there are white and black people(there are muslims, jewish, christians) money has no color and no religion my friend.don't split the world into two categories the white (bad people) and the others (the victims) because that's what they want.I am white I live in France and I can tell you that there is a lot of misery for the "white" too.

the important thing is to make the world aware of what going on in congo . the press doesn't want talk about it .But now the congolese people are awake .people of congo die from hunger ,we don't want all those wealth no need to kill or to bring instability to congo for those coltan ,we need peace .every one profit of congo but no the congolese ,having electronic gadget in congo it is a luxary many congolese can't afford but the coltan inside come from there.it is injust.

7,619 viewers only,OMG, what's wrong with this world??

@dcwizard84 Totally agreed. It's easy for people to slam people like Penn and Affleck, accusing them of being perceived as heroes...the truth is, they ARE. Only those who have seen and done these things themselves have any right to criticize. I've worked as a French/English interpreter with DRC war survivors-the lucky ones who managed to escape-and all I can say is that a) he's not exaggerating a thing, and b) I wish DHS interviewers over here had his compassion.

Ben Affleck..God bless you. He didn't make a song or video but instead went down there and got his hands dirty..If any one is asking why help these people? then they must be sick.

@orgexy : maybe people want us to help these countries without bombing them or exploiting their resources. It's a nuance.

Brilliantly put popalongkid!

I don't know why people try to get the government to help these people when they did not want the government to handle Iraq/Iran. Can people be even more contradicting?
