what is kony 2012?

KONY 2012  is a half-hour documentary, from the Invisible Children's campaign “Stop Kony 2012″ and filmed by directorJason Russell, who is  tapping into the power of social media to reach a global audience. The purpose of his documentary, according to Russell, is to get people to know who Joseph Kony and not to celebrate him while raising support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.

This war-lord from Uganda is one of the most vilified strongman in this planet and he is at the top of the list of the “world's most wanted man” by the International Criminal Court. He is accused and responsible for the abduction, death or enslavement of more than 30,000 children. He is known for the extreme atrocities he commits, including murder, mutilations, rape, and in some accounts even cannibalism.

For now we don’t know what will happen in Uganda, what we know for sure is that Kony2012 has had a huge success as a marketing strategy of Invisible Children to be known worldwide.

It takes chances to make changes.
