The film, Gimme Shelter, set to the Rolling Stones song of the same name, is taking the lead in the campaign.

'We made this film in order to focus attention on the humanitarian crisis in the DRC at a time when too much of the world is indifferent or looking the other way,' Affleck said in a statement.

Ben Affleck, through the Gimme Shelter campaign and film also aims to help the UN raise $23 million, for the refugee agency (UNHCR) to pay for emergency aid and clean water.
