of shifting the environment. >> you are really hands on. i read you travelled 10-15 times a year to these areas. you got back from south sudanwhich is one of the scariest places in the world right now. you got 15% of the population displaced. there's a threat of famine for millions of people. it's a terrible place. what are you seeing there? >> it's difficult. i mean, we went there as an organization before the counter conflict. we were there in december 2012. and we had chosen in three states, john lee, upper nile and unity, which we thought were sort of the fragile states inside the country. and we started to train youths in jonglei state. they did a great job. unfortunately the war broke out, the civil war. it scattered people. because of technology training and human training, they started to help people get to safety. they acted in some ways as a first response unit by helping friends across ethnic lines, because it's not only a political issue, but an ethnical issue. >> tribal. >> so they activated that. when they came in, we worked with them to relocate or help them get situated as best we could. and started working i

vaccination rates in many wealthy los angeles schools are now on a par with those of south sudan.hools as low as 2% vaccination rates. this conversation has been driven by high-profile hollywood vaccine denouncers like jenny mccarthy. i asked a few other hollywood voices to weigh in. here's what two actresses and mothers told me at last weekend's global citizen festival when i asked them whether the anti-vaccine campaign is overblown. >> it's something that is -- it's misunderstood by many people. it's a contentious issue. again, i don't want to preach. people should do what they want but i personally feel very, very lucky to vaccinate my child. >> personally, i think it's kind of nonsense. but they're parents and they're going to make decisions for their children. well, there's no polio in america because we've been using these vaccines. and there's countries around the world who are so desperate for them. and it's really selfish of us to not be taking care of our communities when we have evidence that it works. and we see what's happening in the world when they don't have it. so

the script that she had written is, it was very, the tone, the language, you know, the people of south sudans what drew me into the whole things. i've never been able to talk about this, i tucked it in for a long, long, two decades of being here in america, so something came up and then when the script came across i'm kind of prepared, emotionally, that i wanted to open my story to the world. >> brown: you know, i read about the saga of making this film, it took a long, long time, and you wonder why it takes so long to make a film like this, of course then you think, well, it's about war in africa, it's kind of a hard story to watch in some ways, is that why? >> hollywood used to make movies like this, but in this last decade they've stopped making movies like this, and it was hard to get people to believe in the story, to engage with the story, and once people engaged with the story they are all lit up, they are excited, they are passionate, and it's the kind of, this, it's an intimate epic, >> brown: partly, i mean, behind the film is a story of how film gets made, right, and which films g

you just got back from south sudan which is one of the scariest places in the world right now. you have got 15% of the population displaced. there is a threat of famine for millions of people. it's a terrible place. what are you seeing there? >> it's difficult. i mean we went there as an organization before the current conflict. so, we were there in december of 2012. and we had chosen three states, john lee, upper nile and uti, which we thought were fragile states inside this country. it scattered people. but because of the technology training and help people. >>> initiating training. >> efforts are so important given the suffering going on there. you saw the suffering in uganda, the infamous lords resistance army and joseph koni a lot of people know about. the trauma these child soldiers have gone through. >> i have shall heard so many stories with them, working with them, being with them, getting to know them. i think one that's interesting is about a child soldier who was abducted with his mother and father and parents carried loads and when the parents were too fired, they

these concerns and one of the consequences of that is for instance the hollywood reporter looked at schools in l.a. and found they had lower rates than south sudanhe schools we are seeing a resurgence of whooping cough and measles. my question is this. why put other children at risk who depend on your kid's immunity? >> i that's an excellent question. what we should be asking ourselves is what is it these affluent women who are married or our scientists and doctors themselves, what is it they know that they are not sharing with everyone else? it's time to look at both sides of this issue. chronic illness is the result of vaccines is very real. it's happening to children all over this country and all over this world. now is the time to act on it. now is the time for parents to take the accurate signs to their doctors. dr. thompson in my experience of him has not stepped off from what he said. he is waiting for indemnity to speak more. >> the study is something that the original authors looked at again and said they don't stand by the findings. >> the original authors? >> that's right. >> meaning dr. hooker? >> and they reanalyzed the data and wha

of the united states. we are among the 7 countries that have not signed on including iran, and lo, and south sudan and tonga but this was not good enough for the women of san francisco and in 1998 san francisco became the first city in the world to enact a local ordinance with the principals, and this forms the framework that guides our work and we are privileged to have amy who is the city attorney at the time who drafted much of the language for that ordinance. and so with any human rights, framework and freedom from violence is a human right. our first topic, trafficking in san francisco. we have a rebounding economy and a growing population and immigrant population and hospitality industry. we see all forms of trafficking here in san francisco, sex and labor trafficking, child and adult domestic and international trafficking. and our entire community affected and there is a link between human trafficking and smuggling and drug and, money laundering and organized crime and all of these lead to increased crime in gang activity and child exploitation and public health problems. so what would you guess the

just this week, they are just going back to the republic of south sudan. having completed their training in kenya. you might wonder what is 13 or 14? it sounds like a small number. believe it or not the country had only three for 10 million people before this program started. so it's a huge increase based on what they had before. but then there is another big problem we face in these hospitals whether it's from the government, products or technologies i introduce there or whether they are coming in . more than two years. they break down so frequently the power systems don't work. the health workers don't know how to use them. they are not well designed for those places. we are also supporting bio medical training program that looks at the local people who can be empowered to learn how to use and maintain most of the medical equipment within their local areas. so we gain more from it. just to see the variation. typically the medical equipment, new ones coming into a public facility. we worked for two years trouble free. in a private facility they do seven y

we have syria and iraq and south sudan and central africa republic, and of course, fighting ebola. we prioritize the fight against ebola the first among the donors, and right now, in addition of the money we provide, we are acting on two very critical aspects. one, to remove the barrier for international health workers, to be more willing to go by securing evacuation. we now have within no more than 48 hours capacity to evacuate the cases of ebola patients. and two, working on making sure that we build more capacity closer to the countries and in the countries for treatment of health workers. my own staff, every single medical doctor of my own staff are there in the countries. and we work very closely with those who are engaged. and i would say this -- >> commissioner, we don't have so much time. >> we need to do more. >> you've made that point very clear. we need to do more. the question is whether the words will be matched by actions. i don't know if you heard kofi annan tell the bbc that he believes this this ebola outbreak had taken place in a different part of the world, not i

of these men. >> the two men spent years as child soldiers and now they say history is repeating itself with children forced to fight what is become south sudan. they worry if the conflict doesn't stop, there will be a new generation of lost boys. they became the lost boys and girls who found refuge in america. emanuel was seven when he lost his mother. and portioned to fight with rebels in the sudan people liberation army. >> the lowest point for me was when we plan an escape, and only 16 people survive from 214 people, and a point where i was tempted to eat my friend. >> he made it out. >> so did garrett also a former child soldier. >> in this movie, marked the end of a long struggle that they have gone through, but on the other hand, it is a beginning of a new struggle. >> the u.n. says the conflict has displaced almost 1 million children, an estimated 10,000 of them are being used as soldiers. >> they are now in the forefront some of them. likely to face the risk of severe disability, or death. they don't have access to education. we don't know what situations they live in. >> today he is a sippinger to express the plight of children vict

south sudan. now we have to walk for thousands of miles to go all the way to ethiopia where we can find safety.country by foot and made it to ethiopia. not only that, we encountered different civil war in ethiopia where we had to come back to south sudan. so it was a lot of war in 1991, which by then i was about eight or 13, 14. >> how emotional was it for to you make this film? >> very emotional, but we know that we need this story to be out there and in order for it to be told, we're lucky enough o have some sudanese telling the story. >> it's almost told through the eyes of kids who become adults. correct? what's that like, when we go see this film what, are we going to experience? >> you're going to experience the story of humanity because this is a story of survival, young kids who fled their homes, so their home destroyed. now they're in america. so from being children to adults. >> titanic humanitarian effort that brought this story out and saved what was left of the kids, right? >> yeah. it's a story that's going to create conscious global awakening. a story that's going to touch people
