KONY 2012

ENGLISH: After the film, Invisible Children Inc (2004) iniciated a successful campaign, petitioning the United States Government (and the world) for support, Invisible Children Inc in 2012 started a social media campaign to garner support and awareness of the LRA and Joseph Kony; with the purpose of promoting the charity 'Stop Kony' movement to make indicted Ugandan war criminal Joseph Kony internationally known in order to arrest him in 2012. The campaign focuses on the website that features a roughly 30 minute video called KONY 2012. The video was uploaded to YouTube on the 5th of March 2012 and immediately went viral all over the internet. After being on YouTube for only 3 days it had received over 38 million hits. As part of the plan, 20 celebrity "Culturemakers" and 12 Policy makers are targeted as individuals to send messages regarding the campaign.
On March 8, 2012, Invisible Children released an official response, addressing the criticisms directed at its organization and the Kony 2012 film
Directed by Jason Russell, was carefully designed to raise awareness of the situation that those kids in Uganda, Africa, are going through for over 20 years; to stop Kony, to stop violence, to stop the killing, to give them PEACE and prosperity; to make JOSEPH KONY famous to finally arrest him; to SHARE IT to unite and help.

“Joseph Kony was committing crimes for twenty years, and no one care. We care.” Luis Moreno Ocampo.

ESPAÑOL: Después de una pelicula llamada Invisible Children Inc, creada por un grupo de hombres que fueron a Africa en el 2003 en busca de una historia, se da a conocer, seguramente despues de mucho trabajo, la campaña KONY 2012, apoyada por Invisible Children, el gobierno estadounidense, un grupo de celebridades, gente de influencia y millones de personas, que de a poco, van conociendo la historia. El film de 30 minutos, fue compartido desde youtube y luego, en todas las redes sociales. El fin es concientizar y dar a conocer lo que pasan los niños de Uganda, que son tomados por la fuerza, separados de sus familias, para ser parte del ejército LRA, dirigido por Joseph Kony hace 26 años, quien no duda en someterlos en caso de querer escapar o no resultar eficientes.
Jason Russell, el director, busca en el film apoyo y caridad para poder dar a esos niños paz y prosperidad, arrestando a Kony este 2012.
