 Jacob <unk> , the former child soldier featured in the film , supported the video and defended its makers . In response to Ugandans saying that the film was out @-@ of @-@ date , Jacob stated that , " It is not too late , because all this fighting and suffering is still going on elsewhere . Until now , the war that was going on has been a silent war . People did not really know about it . Now what was happening in Gulu is still going on elsewhere in the Central African Republic and in Congo . What about the people who are suffering over there ? They are going through what we were going through . " It was noted by Los Angeles Times journalists Lindsay <unk> and Jocelyn Kelly that a number of people living in the areas where the LRA is currently active have previously called for attention and advocacy to be directed at the issue . Julien Marneffe , a worker for Catholic Relief Services in Goma said " it 's been an undeniable success -- and one all humanitarian organizations working in this area can be happy about , " but added to " be careful not to <unk> the issue " and worried that the interest might be short lived when " another crisis or another video will be the next online trend , and I fear that most people will forget about the problems of the LRA .
