[edit] This is an important issue.
Who are these guys? Who financed the movie? Where does money from the movie and their sale of bracelets, tee-shirts, etc. go?
[edit] Answer to: This is an Important issue.
The first two questions should be answered by the Invisible Children article. The money raised goes to relief in Uganda.
[edit] Another answer
Invisible Children is regularly audited by third party firms. Their financial statements are provided for you online (https://secure.invisiblechildren.com/donate/). Click on Annual Report and Financial Statement. There, you will find that 50% of their income is based on the sale of merchandise (this is why they invest so much in publicizing/packaging). Also, their 2007 Update CD will tell you that 90% of the direct cash donations that Invisible Children receives is $20 or less. That also affirms their belief in how "a lot of littles add to a big difference." Every dollar counts. I hope that was helpful.
