In early 2013 we will continue to travel (UK & Uganda) to find out more information and hear more stories for our film.

We are also sending a 2nd container of bikes to Uganda through our partner organisation Bikes 4 Life, helping the lives of former child soldiers and victims of war.

We wish everyone success and happiness in 2013 and hope you continue to follow our progress with Child Troopers as we enter the final stages of post production later in the year!

Seeking the Truth

Our team are on the move again, traveling the globe in search of the truth and the untold, unreported stories about the war in northern Uganda, for our documentary film 'Child Troopers' (working title).

This week we will be traveling to New Zealand to conduct interviews with Ugandan expats. We then plan to visit London early January to continue our research and interview exiled Ugandans who want to tell their story, that has been silenced and suppressed by international media for far too long. 

To follow our journey please check into www.twitter.com/madvsbad and follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/childtroopers

Wish us luck, as the road ahead could get rough!

Why Is the U.S. Selling Billions in Weapons to Autocrats?

Why Is the U.S. Selling Billions in Weapons to Autocrats? - By Zach Toombs, R. Jeffrey Smith, and the Center for Public Integrity | Foreign Policy

The export of American arms to countries around the world -- even those actively repressing their own citizens -- is booming.

Three nations with records of suppressing democratic dissent in the last year -- Algeria, Egypt, and Peru -- are listed in the report as recently receiving U.S. firearms, armored vehicles, and items from a category that includes chemical and riot control agents like tear gas. The State Department confirmed that U.S. tear gas was delivered to Egypt up to the end of November, but has declined to confirm it was also sent to Algeria and Peru.

The export of American arms to countries around the world -- what the State Department calls a tangible expression of American "partnership" -- is in fact booming. The commercial arms sales reviewed by the State Department reached $44.28 billion in fiscal year 2011, a $10 billion sales increase since 2010. Next year should see another increase of 70 percent, the department says.

Those sales -- plus the government-to-government arms exports overseen by the Pentagon -- make the United States the world's top provider of major conventional weapons, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Russia, France, and China followed behind. Much of the recent U.S. increase came from vastly expanded sales to Saudi Arabia, Brazil and India.

Protest at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, Canberra

Always Was, Always Will Be from Ebony Butler on Vimeo.

The aboriginal ‘Tent Embassy‘ directly opposite Parliament House in Canberra is an interesting and vibrant place, where Australian Police are not even allowed to enter, nor stand on a piece of their land, unless given permission by the elders. I happened to be in Canberra for a climate action summit, and spent two days at the ‘tent embassy’ with the elders who took a liking to me. The police crossed the line onto aboriginal soil that day and I captured a rare piece of footage, the filming insisted by the elders and leaders of their ‘tent embassy’. 

Read ABC's report below about today's riot that put our Prime Minister Julia Gillard in danger.
