KONY 2012 - Watch + Spread the word.

I (like many others) hadn't heard about KONY until it started trending over Twitter. Many people I knew where posting / retweeting the link of the video that had gone viral over the network in a few hours leading to the Kony 2012 website crash subsequently after it began gaining widespread popularity.

The film created by by Invisible Children, Inc. is to promote the charity's 'Stop Kony' movement to make indicted Ugandan war criminal Joseph Kony internationally known in order to arrest him.



Ugandan Rebel, Joseph Kony is the head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), which is known for the atrocities it commits against civilians, including murder, mutilations, rape, and in some accounts even cannibalism. Since it began in 1986, it has abducted and forced million of children into terrorism and fighting for them.

The video has seen a number of celebrities endorsing the campaign including Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Christina Milian, Nicki Minaj, Bill Gates and Kim Kardashian.With the endorsements and wide-spread fame that the movement has been receiving, the group hopes to reach out to political hot-shots, in putting an end to the terror caused by Joseph Kony.

Just take 30 mins out of your day to watch this film and help spread awareness!
