What can a bunch of punk kids in America do about the world's issues?

Wzup Everyone! Hope you enjoyed those pictures from our trip! It was really amazing for me to see the kind of connections a few guys from Missouri can get with God's help (obviously this is a Dan blog) and a little emailing/phone calling. With the free access to information available to us, you can get anyone's email or you at least know someone who can get anyone's email. This can be nuisance if you do not want to be reached, but for guys like us, that are trying to get in contact with people of power, it is definitely a blessing. We have already connected with tons of big names and organizations that I never imagined would care to get involved with us. The list grows weekly.

This reminds me of something Jason Russell, one of Invisible Children founders, talked about in his interview. I asked him if he really thought this next generation could make a difference in this world. What can a bunch of punk kids in America do about the world's issues? He had a great response.

 

Basically, do you think one person can make a difference, specifically one young person? What is their potential? Is it more or less than the generation before them? This question touches on the core of my goals with this film, so it is an important question to get honest, straightforward opinions on.
