Summary: Stop Kony Campaign Galvanized by Invisible Children Video Propaganda is important, whether you’re the brutal leader of a violent army or the people trying to stop him. The organization Invisible Children has a new video about Ugandan Lord’s Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony, and the 30-minute take down piece has gone viral online. Kony, who has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity, has been on a violent campaign against the Ugandan government since 1986. Since then, the warlord and his army have reportedly displaced more than 2 million people and abducted 66,000 children. Filmmaker Jason Russell’s video, titled “Kony 2012,” scored nearly 3 million views just this week, with some social media help from the likes of Roger Ebert and a groundswell of young people sharing the 30-minute piece online. Will it make a difference? Invisible Children hopes the video will keep the pressure on.
