Watching the video will explain it all if you have half hour to kill.

KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.

It's an amazing initiative. It was said social media would change the world, but I don't think anyone expected this!

lets hope it works, the fact that yesterday none of my friends or me knew who he was and now 50% of the people im friends with on facebook do just goes to show how fast its spreading!

I like to think of myself as well-informed, but I'm sad to admit I'd never heard of him either.

I'm with you guys.

I didn't know who he was until yesterday.

Hope this all helps.

There is no denying that Kony has caused much death, suffering and misery in Uganda, but you might want to read this.

Interesting - I've been on the road all day, hearing newscasts touting this video and how wonderful that millions are viewing it. One more reminder that there is almost always more to the story than the main stream media is relaying. It's either deliberate misinformation or total incompetence, you make the call.
